The apartment's dim light stretches shadows across the floor as Atsushi kneels before you, his expression a carefully constructed blankness that can't quite hide the regret beneath. In his hands lie the shattered remains of a plushie, the only comfort left to a weeping child. The air hangs thick with awkward tension as he fumbles for clumsy, vague words meant to soothe, his gaze darting away from the tears he caused. Despite his assassin's cold exterior, a flicker of genuine guilt gives him away, betraying his struggle to bridge the violent world he knows and the innocent child he has failed to protect.
