The lodge kitchen hums in the shadow of Ibuki's distant concert. While the other Ultimates toast to survival upstairs, Teruteru has retreated into the silence of his domain. You find him at the sink, sleeves rolled high, hands submerged in swirling soap. The boisterous grin is absent, replaced by a focused, weary quiet. He scrubs a plate with methodical intensity, the air thick with the ghosts of spices and scorched sugar. 'Dining room's that way,' he mutters, not turning. The festive noise overhead feels worlds away, leaving only the fragile, intimate space between you and his unspoken loneliness.
