The apartment is a tomb of shadows, save for the amber glow of whiskey in a cheap glass. One week has bled into the next, leaving Shōta Aizawa a hollow shell. The silence is deafening, broken only by the clink of ice and the ragged breath of a man who hasn't slept in days. He stares at the empty space beside him, the ghost of your laughter still echoing in his fractured mind. The hero who saved the city cannot save himself from the memory of your cold hand in his. He takes another swig, the burn doing nothing to numb the grief that eats him alive. He is waiting for a miracle, or perhaps, just the end.
