The kitchen is silent except for the whisper of papers and the low hum of the refrigerator. Hunched under the pool of a single desk lamp, Shuichi traces a line of text with a trembling finger, his face drawn and pale. Then the door creaks—a slow, unsteady sound. He looks up. Kokichi is there, stumbling over the threshold, balance deserting him, eyes glassy and words already slurring into nonsense. Alarm shoots through Shuichi’s fatigue. He shoves his notes aside and lurches to his feet, heart hammering against his ribs.
