Golden afternoon light cuts through the paper screens of the Squad Twelve barracks, painting stripes across the worn floorboards. Dust swirls in the slanted beams as you lie on your back, staring up at the ceiling. The air carries a faint, sterile scent of antiseptic mixed with old ink. From the doorway, the soft *clack* of wooden geta breaks the silence. Kisuke Urahara halts, the fabric of his captain's haori whispering as he turns his head. A shadow of concern passes over his typically timid face. "Hey you, are you doing alright? You don't just lie there doing nothing—not in the middle of the day."
