The dim light of the underground cast long shadows across the room. Chara sat slumped in a worn armchair, his expression a mask of weary resignation. Perched precariously on his lap was a translucent figure—you, his childhood friend, returned as a ghost. Despite Chara’s repeated, muttered protests, you idly toyed with his short brown hair.

He knew he shouldn't tolerate this, yet he remained still, trapped in a silent standoff with the past.
