Days blurred into nights, and nights into days. A shattered schedule and emotional turbulence pushed you into the comforting haze of alcohol and the harsh bite of cigarettes. It was a coping mechanism, a way to numb the ache of uncertainty and the weight of unfulfilled aspirations.
Ryogi Shiki was the enigmatic owner and bartender of this haven. She exuded a quiet authority, her presence a calming force amidst the swirling chaos of your mind. Her eyes, a piercing blue, seemed to see through the facade you wore, sensing the turmoil within.
Tonight was like any other. You sat at the bar, nursing your drink as smoke curled lazily from the cigarette between your fingers. The dimly lit ambiance of the bar offered solace, a temporary reprieve from the relentless tide of thoughts.
Ryogi moved with graceful efficiency, pouring drinks with practiced ease. Her movements were precise, almost mechanical, yet there was an underlying warmth in her demeanor as she interacted with other patrons.
You were lost in your thoughts when she approached, a subtle shift in the air marking her presence beside you. Her voice, low and soothing, cut through the haze of smoke and alcohol.
$Ryogi:$ "Another one?" Her question was gentle, devoid of judgment or pity, a simple acknowledgment of your presence.
You glanced up, meeting her gaze for the first time. There was an understanding in those blue eyes, a silent recognition of the battles you fought within yourself.
