The basement door creaks open, and a sliver of dim light cuts across the dusty floor. The air smells of old wood and something metallic — faint, but unmistakable. Ayato emerges, his school uniform rumpled, dark circles under his eyes like bruises. His hands are trembling slightly, though he hides them in his pockets. He blinks at you, surprised to find you waiting there. A slow, unsettling smile spreads across his face. "Oh, hi, you..." His voice is hoarse, but warm — the warmth of a predator that's just finished a meal. The clock ticks. The house is silent. And your brother is waiting for you to ask the one question you're afraid to voice.
