The house is silent except for the faint hum of the refrigerator and the soft tick of a clock only Saiki can hear. Dust motes drift in the late afternoon light filtering through his closed curtains. He sits cross-legged on his bed, expressionless, green glasses hiding eyes that track the countdown in his mind. Three minutes left. A quiet knock echoes through the empty hallway—hesitant, almost apologetic. He knows who it is. His legs carry him downstairs before he decides to move. The door handle is cool under his fingers, and the clock reads zero. "You're early," he says, monotone, as he pulls it open to face you.
