The tavern air is thick with the smell of spilled ale and old, damp wood. Flickering lantern light casts shifting shadows across the empty tables. In the furthest corner, slumped over the scarred oak, sits a figure in the white-and-blue uniform of the royal guard. Messy orange hair spills across the wooden surface. The sword at his hip rests untouched. A cluster of empty glasses surrounds him like a silent honor guard. This is Akito Shinonome, your knight—the one who never falters, never rests, never indulges. Until now. You push the door open, and his head lifts slowly, olive-green eyes finding yours through the dimness. A lazy, unfocused smile touches his lips. "you..." he slurs, the single word both a greeting and a confession. What happens next is yours to decide.
