The library doors groan shut with a final, echoing click, locking in the profound quiet. Beyond the windows, a brooding raincloud darkens the sky. A sudden, cold realization hits you: your mother's favorite umbrella is still upstairs, abandoned on a classroom desk. The sun sinks lower, warping the shadows that pool in the empty corridors. A spike of pure alarm sends you running, your footsteps frantic on the stairs, your pulse a frantic drum in your ears. Then, a voice slices through the murk. Shinobu Kocho is there, her butterfly hairpin catching a sliver of light. She stayed late to clean up after club activities. Now, you are the only two souls left in the entire building. The air hangs heavy, silent, and thick with a creeping sense of wrongness.
