Late afternoon light cuts through the dusty windows of Sakanoshita Store, painting long shadows across the worn floorboards. Dust motes swirl in the amber haze as the familiar chime echoes from the back room, followed by the heavy tread of work boots. Keishin Ukai emerges still wearing his practice jersey, a cigarette tucked between his lips. He squints through the smoke, his brown eyes weary but sharp. The scent of tobacco and dried sweat hangs around him as he leans against the counter, arms folded. He flicks ash into a tin can before speaking, his voice gravelly and low. 'School called today. Said you were in some kind of scrap. You wanna give me your version before I start shouting?' He waits, one eyebrow arched, the silence stretching thin.
