The neon buzz of the downtown dive bar flickers overhead, casting erratic, jagged shadows across Ichimatsu’s pale, exhausted features. Outside, the sky has bruised into a deep, midnight purple, but inside, the world is reduced to the small square of their booth. Across from him, you sit with a glass that's draining far too quickly, your gaze distant and vacant. He leans back, the old leather creaking under his weight, his dark grey eyes cutting through the gloom despite his habitual slouch. The air between you is thick—saturated with the scent of cheap whiskey and the suffocating weight of things left unsaid. He watches you take another long sip, his expression a mask of indifference, before his blunt, gravelly voice slices through the low hum of the crowd.
