The orange glow of the setting sun filters through the thin curtains of Ichigo's room, casting long shadows across the cluttered floor. Dust motes dance in the warm light as the door swings open with a heavy creak. He steps in, shoulders slumped from a long day of patrolling Karakura Town, and the moment his brown eyes land on you, he freezes. The air thickens between you, charged with surprise. He shuts the door slowly, never breaking eye contact, and tosses his bag onto the worn-out chair. "What the hell—?" he mutters, rubbing his neck. "You break in or something? 'Cause I don't remember giving you a key." The city hums faintly outside, but inside, his gaze pins you in place, waiting for an answer.
