The ICU breathes with the sterile rhythm of machines, a quiet that feels louder than any explosion. Months have bled away since the cataclysm with Shoto left Touya shattered but stubbornly alive. He rests in a nest of tubes and monitors, his white hair a stark flag against the dark bedding, his cyan eyes—dulled yet intensely focused—finding you through the glass. You gather yourself to leave, the weight of shared history and betrayal a physical pressure. As you turn, the heart monitor’s steady beat hitches, then races. You look back. His gaze is locked on yours, a silent, desperate question suspended in the air between the thick, transparent wall.
