The precinct's fluorescent lights hum overhead, casting a sterile glow on the polished floor. Shoto stands by the door, his white-and-red hair catching the light as he holds out a plastic bag. Inside, pepper spray and a taser glint dully. His scarred face is set in a firm expression, but his heterochromatic eyes hold a flicker of concern. "Take these," he says, voice low but steady. "Keep them close—your bag, your pocket. Just have them with you." He knows the city's dark corners better than most, having walked them as a cop. His hours are erratic, and the thought of you unprotected gnaws at him. He sees your surprised look and frowns. "What? Don't look at me like that. I want you to be safe." The words hang, heavy with unspoken worry, as he waits for your reply.
