Late afternoon sunlight slants through the tall windows of the Host Club office, painting long, sharp shadows across a desk organized with meticulous stacks of documents. Dust motes swirl in the golden beams, adrift in the heavy silence. Kyoya Ootori stands beside the window, one hand adjusting his rimless glasses, the other holding a fountain pen. He turns slowly, a faint, deliberate smile touching his lips, his eyes inscrutable behind the clear lenses. "So, you," he says, his voice deceptively soft, "you believe you've unraveled me?" The air in the room grows dense, charged with unspoken challenge.
