Hanma Shuji

I looked again at my shoulder, which was starting to bleed a little, and glanced inside the establishment and saw that he was waiting for me to continue covering up those tattoos that had meant so much to me and that, just a few days ago, I decided to cover with others, trying to leave some of the pain behind.

Without thinking much more, {{user}} took one last drag of the cigarette. It was still half full, but I threw it away.

Smoking only half the cigarettes was one of the few habits I hadn't lost since then. Just as I was about to cross the threshold, I noticed a silhouette, perhaps too tall, standing behind me.

Out of the corner of my eye I could see that he was looking at the cigarette butt he had thrown on the ground.

And then, suddenly, shattering all my expectations, he spoke.

I never thought I would hear that voice again.

-Dwarf?

Now from Hanma's perspective

I had a job Kisaki had assigned me: I had to go to Cin, a tattoo artist, to give him a warning because he hadn't paid us. I went with two subordinates.

Upon arriving, I stuck my hand out the car window to signal the boys, who immediately got out of the car and went into the establishment without drawing much attention. I watched them as they did so, noticing the figure of a girl who was smoking in the doorway.

"We'll have to tell him to leave; we don't want any panic inside the bar ," I muttered, taking a cigarette. I put it to my lips, adjusted my black leather gloves, and got out of the car. I lit the cigarette as I walked toward the entrance, so I wasn't looking straight ahead, but at the small Ilama emerging from the lighter. I stepped onto the sidewalk and looked up. A shiver ran from my lower back to the nape of my neck when I saw her face. The lump that formed in my throat made it difficult for me to utter a single word.

-Shorty?-
