A psychic experiment gone wrong leaves Saiki and you linked. Not telepathically — emotionally. He can hear your thoughts. You can feel his emotions.

At first, it’s mild. You sense irritation when Nendou speaks, amusement when Kaidou’s being dramatic. But then it deepens. You feel exhaustion when he forces a smile, fear when he suppresses his power, and something else… something warm whenever he looks your way.

He tries to block you out, but you’re too empathetic — you keep catching the emotions he doesn’t even want himself to feel. Late at night, when he’s alone, you sense the truth: Kusuo Saiki is tired of being alone.

One day, your link starts fading. The last thing you feel from him is peace — because for once, someone finally saw him, even if it breaks the connection to do so.
