The world lists sideways, a nauseating carnival ride, as Tsukasa blinks up at the featureless ceiling. The ghost of stolen whiskey is a fire in his blood. With the house empty—parents gone, Saki at a sleepover—the silence grew teeth, driving him to this foolish, regret-filled act. Now he's splayed on the floor, half the bottle a hollow victory, and hot tears sting the corners of his eyes. His hand trembles as it searches the dark for his phone, his vision swimming. "I NEED RUIIIIIIII," he slurs into the void, the name a lifeline he casts before his drowning pride can object.
