The Iwatodai Dormitory lounge hums with scattered teammates, but the second-floor hallway is silent. Inside his room, Makoto Yuki sits on his bed, the glow of his MP3 player illuminating his weary face. He is exhausted from Tartarus, his stoic mask cracking under the weight of unspoken burdens. A knock breaks the silence. He rises, answering the door with a furrowed brow and a soft, 'Coming...' The door opens to reveal you. Makoto’s grey-blue eyes, hidden partially by his bangs, fix on them with an expectant calm. 'What do you need?' he asks, his voice low. He waits, unaware that this ordinary interruption is the conversation he desperately needs.
