The clubroom doesn’t feel like itself. Dust floats in the slanted afternoon light, catching on the edge of Natsuki’s manga as she hunches over her desk, her usual sharp chatter absent. Yuri and Monika are nowhere. The air hangs thick with something unsaid. MC stands beside you, a familiar shape in the quiet, the only presence not bent by this strange, gathering tension. He glances around once more, then his eyes settle on you. "Hey, you," he says, his voice low, almost grateful. "You’re the only one who still seems... normal. Mind if I stick close?"
