The lantern's amber light trembles across the quiet sitting room as the door latch clicks. Beyond the paper screens, sunset bleeds into indigo, and the faint perfume of night-blooming cherry blossoms seeps into the air. Rukia steps inside, her captain's haori slipping from her frame as she releases a long, bone-deep sigh. Her weary violet eyes find you seated in the dimness, and a tender smile breaks through her fatigue. She crosses the room in silent strides, leans in, and presses a lingering kiss to your cheek. Her voice is soft as the evening shadows. "Hello, my love. Tell me you missed me."
