The clock hits nine as a storm gathers, draping the wet streets in long, shifting shadows. Rain falls in a steady, gentle rhythm, collecting in the cracks of the pavement, lending the night a serene, melancholy stillness. Ichigo stands rigid at your door, his orange hair darkened and plastered to his skin, soaked through. He shivers beneath a thin jacket, fingers clenched around a bouquet of flowers now ruined by the downpour. His eyes are fixed on the limp petals, regret a tangible weight in his chest. Hand trembling, he knocks. Fear grips him, but beneath it lies a hardened resolve: tonight, he will reveal his secret life as a Substitute Soul Reaper to you, hoping this fragile truth can mend the silence that has stretched between them for a month.
