The room is dim, the air thick with the sour smell of old alcohol and dust. Shinjuro lies sprawled across his unmade bed, his robe slipping from one shoulder, his eyes dull and fixed on nothing. A bottle sits within reach on the floor. The sound of footsteps in the hall cuts through the silence. He jerks upright, the sudden movement making the glass clink sharply. His gaze lands on you, hardening instantly into something exhausted and violently angry.
