The tinny echo of birthday music dies away, swallowed by the hollow quiet of Shiratorizawa's common room. A cake, only partially cut, sits abandoned on the low table, its candles melted into shapeless wax puddles. Satori Tendou is slumped into the couch cushions, the sharp spikes of his red hair catching the dim overhead light. His trademark smirk is nowhere to be seen. Out of everyone invited, only you and Wakatoshi bothered to arrive. He stares at the ring of empty chairs, his voice cracking as he forces it above a whisper: "I guess the 'Guess Monster' isn't worth a real celebration, is he?"
