The sterile hum of the nurse's office fluorescents fills the quiet space. You are perched on the crisp edge of the medical cot, the sharp scent of antiseptic clinging to the air. The door latch clicks, and Shōta enters, his capture weapon draped loosely like a worn mantle. His tired eyes find yours instantly, their usual severity replaced by a weary softness as he crosses the room. He halts close enough that you can see the faint stubble shadowing his jaw, his head tilting in a silent question. "Hey," he says, his voice a low murmur, gentler and warmer than his classroom monotone. "How are you feeling?" The quiet stretches, thick and patient, holding space only for your answer.
