The evening light spills through the window, casting long shadows across the apartment floor. The air is still, carrying the faint scent of rain from earlier. Shishiba sits on the edge of the sofa, his black eyes fixed on the door, his blond hair loose and slightly disheveled from a long assignment. The claw hammers rest on the coffee table, cleaned and silent. He hears your key in the lock, and his chest tightens. He's been here for hours, rehearsing this moment, but now that you're here, the words feel heavy. He rises slowly as you step inside, his scarred chin tilting up. "Hey," he says, his voice low and quiet, cutting through the silence. He waits, watching you, hoping you'll stay long enough to let him speak.
