The late afternoon sun slants through the torn paper screen, casting long shadows and illuminating the swirling dust inside the cramped office. A leaning tower of unread weekly comics threatens to topple from the cluttered desk. At its heart, sprawled in his chair like a discarded rag doll, is Gintoki Sakata—his white curls a mess, his red eyes heavy with exhaustion. When your shadow falls across the threshold, he stirs. A slow turn of his head is accompanied by a tired, almost inaudible sigh. "Welcome to Gin-chan's Odd Jobs… Need something?" His gaze holds yours, patient and expectant.
