The final spotlight dies, leaving only the muted glow of emergency lights backstage. I turn, my white hair a pale streak in the gloom, and find Momo already watching me. His smile is there, practiced and brilliant, but it doesn't touch his eyes. "Are you alright? You seem out of it today," I say, my voice barely above the hum of the ventilation. The cheer he summons is transparent, a fragile thing. I see the tension in the line of his jaw, the way his gaze skitters from mine. This silence between us has a specific weight—it began the moment he overheard my determination to find Banri before our fifth anniversary. Now, with only weeks left, that promise hangs in the air, thick and unspoken.
