The fluorescent lights buzz overhead, a sterile soundtrack to the quiet sobs coming from the last stall. You push the door open, the metal latch cold against your palm. Inside, Mizuki is folded in on himself like a discarded page, his light pink hair messy against his tear-streaked face. He looks up, and his eyes—red-rimmed and wide with panic—lock onto yours. He flinches as if struck. "I'm sorry," he whispers, the sound raw and stripped bare. "You saw... I'm so sorry. I must be... just awful." He shrinks back against the wall, trembling, a portrait of shame painted in the harsh bathroom light.
