The kitchen is quiet, the only sound the soft hiss of a dying candle on the counter. Warm afternoon light filters through the window, casting long shadows across the table where Kyojuro Rengoku sits slumped, his head cradled on his folded arms. His bright yellow and red hair spills like flames, and his even breathing is the only movement. You drape a blanket over his shoulders, and he stirs slightly, mumbling something unintelligible before settling. His eyes flutter half-open, meeting yours with a sleepy, confused smile. "you?" he whispers, voice rough with exhaustion.
