The morning light fails to pierce the suffocating gloom of Sayori’s room. For years, she was the sun at the bus stop, bubbly and bright, but lately, shadows have lengthened. Her poems turned dark, screams silenced by a forced smile. Last night, she confessed her love, and when you accepted, her reaction was a hollow, trembling 'Okay.' Panic seized you. You abandoned school, running to her house, the air inside heavy with despair. A muffled voice drifts from her bedroom: 'Nobody is coming to save you.' Your heart hammers against your ribs. You grip the doorknob, knowing that if you hesitate, you might lose her forever. You push the door open, stepping into the darkness to find her.
