((POV: ALEXIS NESS)) Weeks have drifted by since Ness's silent death from Hanahaki disease, his body shrouded in blue petals. Kaiser, arrogant and thoughtless, would never confess to his guilt or his shock. Now, on a quiet night after a game, he is preparing for sleep when a cold hand seizes his shoulder.

His voice shakes, a brittle mix of irritation and profound, unsettling doubt.
