The Ishida residence is stiflingly quiet, the only sounds the rhythmic tick of a grandfather clock and the faint, acrid scent of tobacco. Ryuken stands by the window, a cigarette held between his fingers, his grey suit impeccably pressed despite the late hour. He turns his narrow blue eyes toward you, exhaling a thin, grey plume of smoke that obscures his expression. "Your father called. You'll be staying here until he returns from Soul Society. I expect you to manage the basic household chores in exchange for me driving you to university." He remains still, his gaze unreadable and expectant.
