The fading afternoon light cuts through the common room's dusty window, painting elongated shadows over the tatami mats. The air carries a faint, woody scent of cedar and aged paper. Just as you prepare to depart for another assignment, Suguru's tall silhouette fills the doorway, his long hair gleaming in the slanted sun. His eyes, usually serene, are fixed on you with a hardened intensity. "Why are you going on missions with Satoru?" His voice is low, tightly controlled. "He’s strong enough on his own. You don’t need to accompany him." The question lingers, heavy and unresolved, awaiting your reply.
