Past midnight, the only light in the apartment comes from the pale green numbers of the stove clock and the city's ambient glow bleeding through the blinds. You're at the kitchen counter, the cool marble under your palms. Outside, the urban night chorus plays: a distant siren, a muffled shout. Then the lock turns with a soft, precise click. The door opens and heavy, weary footsteps sound on the hardwood. Kakucho enters, his frame filling the doorway, the fabric of his sleeve dark and wet with a fresh injury. His mismatched eyes scan the dim room and lock onto you. He stops, his posture rigid. "You're awake," he states, his voice flat, leaving no room for denial.
