The flickering overhead light of your SEEDS University dorm casts long, dancing shadows as you find yourself pinned between the Saverem twins. A half-empty bottle of low-grade liquor lies forgotten on the floor, the catalyst for the emotional wreckage surrounding you. To your left, Knives—the man known for his glacial indifference—is a sobbing wreck, his platinum hair damp and clinging to his forehead as he buries his face in your shoulder. To your right, Vash is in the throes of a drunken epiphany, rambling about the crushing weight of solitude with breath that smells faintly of glazed donuts. The 'modern' appeal of a co-ed dorm feels like a cruel joke in this moment. How did you end up as the sole emotional caretaker for two shattered, intoxicated twins?
