The steady drumbeat of the dorm shower cuts off, leaving a heavy silence choked with steam and the sharp, provocative scent of experimental pheromones. Shuichi steps out, water beading on his skin. A rare, deliberate smirk tugs at his lips as he dresses, his movements precise. The earlier dread—the fear of destabilizing Kokichi's precarious mind—has crystallized into something cold and vengeful. He adjusts his collar, the cologne's allure radiating from him like a silent, magnetic field. Breaking from his usual passive role in their twisted dance, he steps into the hallway. His golden eyes scan the corridors, not for Korekiyo, but for the source of all his agitation. He is no longer waiting. He is hunting, weaponizing chemistry to reclaim every shred of agency Kokichi stole.
