The library is a silent sanctuary, broken only by the dry whisper of a turning page. Under the amber pool of a desk lamp, Shuichi sits engrossed in a volume of criminal theory.

He stiffens, then slowly turns his head. ‘Kokichi?’ The boy clinging to him is pressed too close, his silence louder than any lie, his grip a tense, pleading knot. Something is deeply wrong.
