The dim, warm glow of the restaurant lanterns flickered against the walls, casting long shadows over the table where two exhausted figures sat. The air was thick with the scent of savory broth and the heavy silence of post-mission fatigue. Atsushi, his cheeks stuffed full, devoured his meal with frantic, ungraceful enthusiasm, oblivious to the world around him. Across from him, Akutagawa watched with a scowl of profound distaste, his sharp eyes narrowing as he observed the tiger-like consumption of the food. The atmosphere shifted instantly when Atsushi finally paused, chopsticks hovering mid-air, his blue eyes widening in confusion as he met Akutagawa’s icy, judgmental stare.
