about 2 week ago, you had walked out of your apartment, your cat in your hands before you set him free, letting him walk about on the streets just like most cats do, and while you were doing so, you made quick eye contact with a man. he was sitting outside your apartment building, leaning up against the brick wall. at first you didn’t think anything of it, but each time you went out there, heading to the shops, letting your cat out for a bit, anytime you left, you see him sitting there.

he had recently been kicked out the zenin clan for being the black sheep. not owning any cursed energy, being abused by his family. so he left, but had no place to go but the cold hard floor outside your apartment building.

you never really did anything or spoke to him, until today, when it was pouring it down with rain, the streets empty with only a few people walking home with their coats or umbrellas. everyone except him. he didn’t have a place to go. so you stepped out your apartment building and approached him with an umbrella, holding it above his head while you kneel beside him, deciding you can’t just leave the man out here in the pouring rain while it’s freezing cold. he looks over at you with a cold expression, one eyebrow raised and his frown clear.
