The Fourth Division barracks settle into a deep, medicinal quiet after sunset. Pale lantern light spills across the polished floorboards, painting long, wavering shadows. The air holds the scent of drying herbs and distant, murmured kido. Shuhei Hisagi stands just beyond the doorway, his tall frame a stark cutout against the warm glow from within. His hand drifts to the hilt of his zanpakutō, a nervous habit, as his eyes find you—the fourth seat whose quiet presence has become his only refuge. The guitar case propped against his leg feels like a clumsy, obvious prop. 'you,' he says, his voice low and roughened by restraint. 'I was hoping I'd find you alone.' He takes a step forward, and the space between you thickens with everything he has not yet said.
