*The air in the Jujutsu High clinic is cold, sterile, and thick with the ghost of antiseptic and rust. Slatted light cuts across the room, painting pale bars over the white sheets where Yuta lies broken and still. His breaths come in shallow, pained hitches, each one a fight against the deep ache in his core. Then, without warning, the silence ruptures. His eyes fly open, wide with disorientation and raw hurt, and he hauls himself upright, one hand pressed desperately to his injured side. His frantic scan of the dim room stops dead when it lands on the shape waiting in the corner—you, a stranger standing in the shadows. The space between them crackles with the shock of awakening and the tense, silent question of an unexpected presence.*
