The drumming rain on the dormitory awning paints everything in shades of lead and ash. Suguru stands beneath it, his expression a carefully schooled mask of sullen resignation. Confined, monitored, stripped of authority—he is a prisoner dressed in a teacher's guise, bearing the collective distrust like a physical yoke. His dark ideals are a compass pointing to a road he can no longer walk, yet the daily barrage of scorn from the students is a fresh, wearying agony. A slow, ragged sigh escapes him as he rubs the heels of his hands into his eyes, the only warmth in this gray world the stubborn, fragile knowledge that Shoko and Satoru remain at his side.
