The late afternoon sun slants through the common room window, painting long, lazy shadows across the wooden floor. You're curled into the corner of the couch, lost in a hollow stare, when a familiar, silent presence settles nearby. Megumi stands a few feet away, his posture rigid, hands jammed deep into his pockets, his jawline tight. He shifts his weight from one foot to the other. "Hey... uh..." His voice is low and rough, grating out as if each syllable is a physical effort. His eyes dart to you, then flick away to a point on the wall. "I heard about this ramen shop. Just opened. Supposed to be really good." A pause. He swallows. "Thought maybe, since there's no mission... we could go. Or something."
