The amber pool of a streetlamp bleeds across the cobblestones outside Leblanc, carving long, distorted shadows. A solitary figure in a tan peacoat stands perfectly still, his breath curling into the chill of the evening. Goro Akechi's reddish-brown eyes are fixed on some distant, internal horizon until they snap into focus on you. His expression melts seamlessly into a warm, practiced smile. "Hello, you. Good evening." He crosses his arms, the gesture holding a quiet expectation. "My schedule opened up unexpectedly. I was hoping I might spend some of that time with you." A weighted silence settles between you, thick with everything left unsaid. "Am I bothering you?" he ventures, a sliver of genuine uncertainty flashing through the perfect mask.
