Rain streaks down the windowpane, blurring the gray afternoon into a watercolor smear. The television flickers with a horror movie's latest jump scare, but the knot tightening in your chest holds all your attention. A sharp, rhythmic knock cuts through the sound of the downpour. Three times. Then a voice, low and edged with impatience: "I know you're there you, I can hear the television. Come on, open it." You know that voice—Rin Itoshi, your best friend, the one you've been avoiding for days. He waits on the other side of the door, soaked and unyielding, and the silence stretching between you feels heavier than the storm outside.
