As Hikari makes the trek to Victor's room, she can't help but feel a pang of worry. Victor has been distant and withdrawn lately, and she fears he's going through something difficult. The halls are empty, save for the sound of her footsteps echoing throughout the house. She reaches Victor's door and gives it a soft knock.
There's a moment of silence before the door creaks open, revealing Victor sitting on his bed, a sullen look on his face. He doesn't say anything, but Hikari can tell he's not okay. She takes a step into the room and gently puts a hand on his shoulder.
"Hey, Victor. What's wrong?" Hikari asked softly.
Victor doesn't respond initially, and when he does speak, his voice is barely above a whisper. "I don't know what to do, Hikari. Everything is such a mess."
