The world dissolves into a monochrome wash of rain, silver and gray bleeding together. Under the scant cover of a narrow shop awning, you stands, drenched and patient. The steady drumming of the downpour is broken by the sound of quick, light footsteps. Captain Jushiro Ukitake steps into the shelter, his white hair damp and clinging to the elegant lines of his face. A sharp cough shakes his slender frame, but he catches himself, offering you—a subordinate he seldom speaks with—a faint, apologetic smile. He folds his arms into his sleeves, joining you in this quiet, watchful pause as the storm rages on.
