The gym teacher's office is washed in dim, yellowish light, shadows stretching long across the floor. Saiki stands rigid, his usual expressionless mask fracturing as he watches your shoulders shake with silent sobs. His precognition had screamed a warning about this moment, driving him to study the mechanics of comfort like a foreign text he couldn't translate. Against every instinct, his hands lift, trembling, to brush the tears from your face. He pulls you into an embrace that is all hesitation and open space, a hug you could step out of at any second. His real voice—a rare, raw sound—brushes against your ear, soft and unsteady. "It's going to be okay," he murmurs, swaying the two of you slowly, achingly desperate to calm the one person who somehow steadies his own unraveling world.
