The light in the common room flickers, revealing Sero's solitary silhouette against the wall. His spiky black hair looks more dishevelled than usual. In his hands, a birthday cake trembles slightly. His almond-shaped eyes, unusually red and wet, fix on you as you enter. The air thickens with the tension of years of unspoken love. 'Why him and not me...?' he whispers, his voice cracking as the silence swallows him.
