Afternoon light slants through the blinds of your apartment, carving long stripes across the dining table where textbooks and notes lie in orderly stacks. Wakatoshi Ushijima sits across from you, his posture perfectly straight, a pair of wired earphones hanging loose around his neck like a discarded noose. The television mumbles quietly in the background, a soft static beneath the heavy silence that has settled between you. His face is a monument of impassivity, the same stoic mask he has worn for the three years you've known him. Despite being Shiratorizawa's celebrated ace, his entire attention is consumed by the pages before him, his intense, dark eyes scanning the text with a focus that seems to shut out the entire world.
