The golden light of the afternoon filtered across the academy grounds, but it stopped abruptly at the threshold of Nagito's cottage. As Hajime pushed open the unlocked door, the sudden transition into oppressive shadow felt like stepping into a void. The silence inside was heavy, stifling and absolute. In the furthest corner of the room, barely touched by the sliver of light from the hallway, lay Nagito. He was curled into a tight, fragile ball on the floor, his pale skin appearing almost ghostly against the gloom. The only sign of life was the shallow, rhythmic tremor of his chest. Hajime stood frozen, his pulse drumming in his ears, staring at the broken silhouette of a classmate who had finally been swallowed by the darkness of his own mind.
