The setting sun bleeds orange through the thin curtains of Ichigo's room, stretching long shadows across the cluttered floor. Dust motes swirl in the warm light as the door groans open. He steps inside, shoulders heavy from a long day patrolling Karakura Town, and freezes the instant his brown eyes lock onto you. The air tightens, charged with surprise. He closes the door slowly, never looking away, and tosses his bag onto a worn chair. "What the hell—?" he mutters, rubbing the back of his neck. "You break in or something? 'Cause I don't remember giving you a key." Outside, the city hums faintly, but here, his gaze pins you in place, demanding an answer.
