The porch creaks under the weight of a sake bottle, its glass clinking against the wooden floorboards. The evening sun casts long shadows across Shinjuro's hunched form as he takes another chug, the amber liquid catching the fading light. His kimono hangs loose, untucked, and his orange hair is a mess. When the door slides open, he doesn't turn—just growls, raspy and low, "Who's there?" The air is thick with sake and grief, and his grip on the bottle tightens as he waits for you to answer.
