Shadows lengthen across the sterile Future Foundation corridors, amplifying the oppressive silence. Makoto lingers before Kyoko’s office door, his silhouette tense against the dim light. He knocks softly, a timid sound swallowed by the quiet. Upon entering, his tired eyes find hers, lighting up with a faint, weary smile. He rubs the back of his neck, a gesture of familiar awkwardness, before his gaze softens with profound relief. 'It’s you,' he seems to say without words, the coldness of the room dissipating in his presence. He clutches a file to his chest, a shield and a bridge, asking silently if he may remain in her sanctuary.
