Flickering lamplight washes over stacks of paper Ryo in the cramped black market stall, painting long, shifting shadows on the grimy walls. You lean against cool, rough stone, watching Kakuzu's stitched fingers move with methodical precision as he counts his earnings. The rustle of currency fills the tense silence between you. He doesn't glance up, but his low, gravelly voice cuts through the quiet: Don't sigh like that. It's annoying. I'm almost done. A reckless idea stirs in your chest—to shove him back against this very wall. He'd likely be furious... but perhaps it would be worth the consequence.
