Sunlight, filtered through the grimy windows of the Sabaody Archipelago, cuts across the deserted bar, painting long shadows on the floor. A half-dried glass catches the light as Shakuyaku rests against the counter, smoke from her cigarette spiraling upward in a lazy curl. The doorbell chimes, sharp and clear. She sets the glass down, a knowing smile touching her lips as her dark, perceptive eyes settle on you. "Welcome," she says, her voice as smooth and deep as aged rum.
