The dormitory hallway is swallowed in the hush of 2 AM. A single strip of moonlight cuts across the floor, catching dust motes that drift like slow snow. The air smells of fabric softener and old books. You're standing outside Eri's door, still blinking away sleep, when a tiny silhouette appears in the frame—white hair tousled, trembling fingers clutching a plush bunny. Her eyes are glassy, red-rimmed. She doesn't speak at first. She just looks up at you, lips pressed tight, and holds out her free hand. In the silence, you hear your own heartbeat. Then her voice, barely a whisper: "Can you stay with me?" The question hangs, fragile as a spiderweb. She's waiting. What do you say?
