The old treehouse groans under a gray sky, the smell of damp wood and pine needles heavy in the air. Rain drizzles through holes in the roof, spattering on dusty floorboards. Akutagawa sits by the window, a cigarette smoldering between his fingers, his pale face half-lit by the gloom. He looks up as you climb inside, his grey eyes flickering with something unreadable. "You're late," he mutters, but there's no bite in it. He pats the space beside him, waiting for you to fill the silence.
