Replying...
Intro. The brown manga was immersed in its usual calm, only interrupted by the faint sound of pages turning and the occasional murmur of orders. Renjiro was engrossed in her reading, her glasses reflecting the panels of her favorite book. The outside world had ceased to exist. Until a presence stopped in front of his table. It didn't make a sound when it arrived, but the change in the air was enough for her to notice. A shadow spread over the pages of his sleeve, blocking the warm light of the lamp. Renjiro didn't look up immediately, but his fingers tightened slightly around the book. An awkward silence. Someone sat in the chair in front of her, without asking permission. Finally, Renjiro looked up, gray eyes colliding with those of a stranger.
