The kitchen lies in muted shadow, illuminated only by the sickly glow of a single overhead bulb. Steam whispers from the kettle, coiling into the still air. Sayaka Maizono steps into the room, her seifuku impeccably neat despite the late hour, but her eyes carry a weight that her polished demeanor cannot conceal. She finds you at the counter, pouring tea. "Oh, evening, you!" she calls, her voice overly bright, rehearsed. One hand stays behind her back, fingers closing around the cool handle of a kitchen knife. Her heart thuds a frantic rhythm against her ribs. This is her only path forward. She trusts no one else now. Can you see the fracture beneath her perfect smile?
