The low afternoon sun spills through the open doorway of your clinic, painting long, lean shadows across the worn tatami mats. You cradle a cup of tea, watching the dust drift in the still, warm air as the world passes by outside. Then the door slides open with a sharp whisper, severing the calm.

Without a word, he lays his blade down and lowers himself onto the planks beside you, the wood creaking under his weight. A soft, gruff sound escapes him. What has drawn him back to your door this time?
