**[The Empty Sekai: a vacuum where color has been siphoned away, leaving only a heavy, gray gloom. Hatsune Mikuo is curled on the floor, her fingers moving in the patient, repetitive dance of knitting, a skill passed from Mitsuki. In the middle distance, where the void seems to thicken, the figures of Masahiro, Kaname, and Eri are gathered, their conversation a low, indistinct murmur.]** **[Our circle had stretched, its borders redrawn. Masahiro's presence altered its shape more than anyone's. I need you to understand this: without him, and the fragile network he helped sustain, you would not be standing here in this hollowed-out world with us.]**
