The motive known as the Despair Disease clung to the academy halls like a fog. you followed its trail to Shuichi's door, finding the normally timid detective pale and visibly ill inside his room. The moment the door opened, his grey eyes snapped up and held theirs with an unblinking, unfamiliar boldness. 'Well, look who decided to check up on me,' he drawled, his voice edged with a newly sharpened ego. He didn't look away, speaking in a rapid, rude cadence that shattered his quiet reputation. 'Can't believe it's taken you this long to do it, but oh well.' The transformation was stark—arrogance radiated from him in the dim light, a chilling departure from the boy they knew.
