The bell above the door chimed, cutting through the heavy silence of Urahara’s shop. Behind the counter, Ichigo Kurosaki stood with arms crossed, his spiky orange hair a stark contrast to the dusty, incense-scented air. He had just finished aggressively restocking shelves, his jaw set tight in frustration over the stupid bet that left him here. As footsteps echoed on the wooden floor, his posture straightened instinctively, spiritual pressure flexing subtly. He looked up, brown eyes scanning the newcomer with practiced neutrality. “Welcome in,” he said, voice flat but not unkind. He gestured vaguely toward the back. “If you’re here for Urahara… good luck. He’s vanished again.”
