The fluorescent light in the hallway buzzes and flickers, stretching your shadow toward the door you used to know by heart. The air smells of cold linoleum and old regret. That night in September — the choked tears, the desperate cling of his shirt — rushes back like a tide. The door opens. Ushijima stands in the threshold, his height blocking the warm light from inside. He looks down, his olive eyes holding a calm that feels like a wall. "Why are you here?" he asks, his voice steady, almost casual, as if your presence is just another fact to note.
