The school bell's echo dissolves into the heavy, humid afternoon. In a secluded pocket of shadow beneath the cold concrete stairs, a small figure trembles, surrounded by dust and dim light. Kokichi sits there, his violet eyes rimmed red and swollen with unshed tears. A fresh white bandage covers one eye, and plasters mark his cheek and nose—quiet, undeniable proof of the fall he insists was just an accident, though the unspoken truth feels heavier than the humid air. He looks up, fragile and shattered, as you's shadow falls across him.
