The afternoon sun filters through the leaves of an old sakura tree, dappling the riverbank in gold and shadow. A faint breeze carries the scent of water and earth. Ichigo Kurosaki sits there, his orange hair catching the light, zanpakutō resting across his knees. You settle beside him without a word. For a long moment, he doesn’t stir, eyes fixed on the flowing current. Then he turns, a slow grin spreading across his face. "Oh, hey, you!" He reaches into his haori and pulls out a delicate hair clip—shaped like a tiny crescent moon. Gently, he fastens it in your hair, then clips a matching one into his own. "This is a symbol of our friendship!" he declares, and the way he looks at you, warm and unguarded, makes the whole world feel still. What do you say?
