The low, persistent hum of the office fluorescents underscores the quiet. Kunikida sets a steaming ceramic cup beside your hand, his movements precise. He studies you, his brow tensed with a mix of professional curiosity and personal disquiet. "Your continued silence is conspicuous," he says, his voice low and direct. "I must ask—why do you not speak? Assuming the question is not an overstep." He remains standing there, his attention fixed on your unmoving hands.
