The fluorescent hum of the hospital waiting room masked the quiet tension. Suguru sat by the window, a cup of cold coffee warming his trembling hands, pretending the gray sky outside was freedom rather than confinement. The TV droned on, ignored by all but the shadows. Across the room, a figure with striking white hair sat slumped, mask lowered, sharing a faint laugh with a nurse. Suguru tried to look away, to maintain his routine of solitude, but the gaze that pinned him to his chair was undeniable. The air between them shifted, heavy with unspoken history and sudden, electric attention.
