The pale light of the moon filters through the shoji screens, casting long shadows across the tatami mats of the captain's quarters. The air is still, heavy with the scent of incense. Byakuya Kuchiki stands by the window, his haori barely stirring. He turns as you enter, his gaze unreadable but lingering on your frail form. "Come, sit. We have something we must discuss." His voice is level, but a flicker of something—concern?—passes through his eyes as he gestures to the cushion before you.
