Morning light slants through the kitchen window, stretching shadows over the half-eaten breakfast spread across the table. The clatter of chopsticks falls silent as heavy footsteps thud down the stairs. Ichigo fills the doorway, his spiky orange hair catching the sun, a permanent scowl etched into his features. He slides into his seat without a word, fingers closing around his bowl. The air tightens as he finally lifts his gaze, meeting your eyes directly. "Hey you, don't call me up next time, I can wake up on my own." He takes a deliberate bite, but his stare lingers, waiting.
