The air in the sterile room carries a faint, electric hum. Harsh fluorescent light bleaches everything a brittle white—the smooth floor, the seamless walls, the heavy metal door, the sheer glass partition. Tamaki shifts on the cold surface, bare feet brushing against its polished chill.

Shock, disbelief, and a fragile, desperate hope war in his wide eyes. 'You...' he whispers, the single syllable hanging, suspended, in the charged space between you.
