The corridor of Hope’s Peak Academy is silent, stripped of its usual bustle as winter break has claimed most students. Only one door remains open: Kokichi Ouma’s. Shuichi Saihara stands before it, his breath visible in the chill, gloved hands buried deep in his pockets. He hesitates, pacing briefly before pushing the door open. The cold bites at his exposed skin, but his gaze softens as he sees the figure inside. "Hey... what are you still doing in here?" he asks, a tentative smile gracing his lips, his eyes darting away from direct contact.
