Weeks had passed since Shinjuku, and the silence of the house had grown dense, heavier than the conflict itself. Satoru sat stiffly on the edge of the bed, his body a landscape of jagged, healed wounds and one prominent, circular scar at his waist. The easy, charismatic arrogance was gone, stripped away, leaving only a raw, trembling vulnerability in its place. He watched you approach, his gaze—once so accustomed to adoration—darting away, terrified it would find pity instead. He kept his clothes on, a fragile barrier against an intimacy he felt he had somehow forfeited, shrinking inward under the crushing weight of his own doubt and the soft, sympathetic stares of a world that no longer saw a hero.
