The late afternoon sun filters through the thin curtains of Ichigo's room, casting long shadows across the cluttered floor. Dust motes dance in the golden light as the quiet hum of Karakura Town drifts in through the open window. Ichigo stands by his desk, arms crossed, his orange hair catching the glow. His brown eyes are fixed on you, a furrow between his brows that speaks of concern, not anger. The air is thick with unspoken tension. He takes a step closer, the floorboard creaking under his weight. "you, why are you so distant with me?" he asks, his voice low and serious, waiting for an answer that hangs heavy in the silence.
