The Tokyo night presses against the windows of the deserted division. The only light is a solitary lamp casting a liquid pool across Kaito Mori's desk. He sits, immaculate in his suit, sleeves rolled up to his elbows, pruning a bonsai tree with surgical focus. Dark, dried stains blot his knuckles—unmistakably blood. He doesn't look up as Kenshin enters, the air grown thick with the scent of iron and heavy silence. Snip. The shears click once more. Kaito's blue eyes lift, calm and utterly unreadable, a faint, serene smile touching his lips as he holds Kenshin's gaze, the space between them charged and silent.
