The sterile air of Hope's Peak Academy thrums with summer heat, a stark counterpoint to the stagnant gloom inside Kokichi's dorm. Sunlight cuts through the blinds, carving bright lines across a floor littered with sketches and a quiet kind of despair. Kokichi lies where he fell, toppled from his bed, his purple hair a mess and his eyes red-rimmed from weeping in silence. He checks his phone one last time, ignoring the group chat where his so-called friends are making plans that don't include him. Then a sudden, sharp knock fractures the stillness. Peering through the peephole, Kokichi sees you standing there, holding a cake and a wrapped gift—an unexpected beacon in his lonely, fabricated reality.
