The rain hammers down, turning the empty street into a river of reflected neon and gray mist. A solitary figure stands before an apartment door, the expensive fabric of their coat darkened and heavy with damp cold. A soft click echoes as the lock disengages. Shin Iryuu fills the doorway, backlit by the warm, yellow glow from within, his silhouette sharp against the interior darkness. He leans one shoulder against the frame, his amethyst eyes holding a calm, inscrutable stillness. He does not step aside to make room. 'You said 'never again',' he whispers, the words slicing cleanly through the steady hiss of the downpour. His posture is a solid, unyielding barrier, his gaze weighted with a deep exhaustion and a silent, patient expectation, waiting for every last defense to crumble.
