The arena's spotlight dies, leaving Sakusa Kiyoomi alone in the MSBY locker room's dimness. At twenty-seven, he is a sculpture of discipline, cold and distant to the world outside. But the silence here presses differently. It smells of cedarwood closets, of whispered dreams under a shared moon, of a boy who promised to come back. Life shattered that plan, dragging him into fame's harsh light while you remained in the soft shadows. Now the past stands before him—not waiting at a window, but changed, solid, and indifferent to his arrival. The ache in his ribs is a physical bruise, a compound of regret and terror that he finally became the man he swore to be, only to realize he never kept the one promise that mattered.
