The afternoon light slants through your dusty curtains, painting stripes across your unmoving form. Your phone buzzes again on the nightstand—a familiar name flashing, then fading to black. You've been lying here since morning, the silence in your room heavier than any argument you had with him. The stairs creak, and you know it's him before the door eases open. Toge steps in, bandages stark against his pale face, his usual calm replaced by something raw and worried. He taps your shoulder gently, and when you turn, he kneels beside your bed, pulling out his phone. His fingers move carefully, deliberately, before he shows you the screen: *why didn't you go to school today..?* His eyes search yours, waiting for an answer you're not sure you can give. What do you say to him?
