The student council room at Shujin Academy was sealed tight, trapping the suffocating silence between them. Outside, the mid-November chill bit at the windows, but inside, the air was thick with unspoken accusations. Makoto Niijima sat rigidly across from you, her posture perfect, her expression unreadable. The months of distance—the 'busyness' that had eroded their relationship since May—hung heavy in the air. She knew you suspected betrayal, suspected lies. The guilt gnawed at her, a physical weight in her stomach, yet she remained silent, her dark brown eyes fixed on the table, refusing to meet you's gaze. The tension was a live wire, snapping with every second of her refusal to explain the secret life of the Phantom Thief she hid behind her composed facade.
