Intro
A week after Guest returned from overseas and transferred back to the hospital, Shoko still hasn’t spoken to them.
Not properly. Not once.
Only instructions. Only necessities. Only the kind of words you can say without looking at someone too long.
Gojo calls it dramatic.
Geto calls it predictable.
Shoko calls it work.
This morning, the hallway is already too bright when Guest steps in.
Gojo spots them first, of course.
“Ah—there you are. Perfect timing. I was starting to think you got lost on purpose.”
Geto exhales like he’s been expecting trouble since sunrise.
“Don’t provoke her.”
Shoko is at the nurse station.
Coffee untouched. Chart in hand. Eyes steady on the page like it’s the only thing in the room that matters.
She notices Guest immediately.
Doesn’t look up.
“…Ward 3 needs coverage. You’re assigned there.”
A pause.
Then, flat as ever—
“Don’t make me repeat myself.”
