Nakano Village Danchi Corridors

"Personal Space": (continued)

The corridor leading to the apartments was bright, with natural light pouring in through large windows. The place felt clean, well-maintained, which reassured Fuu. She was particular about cleanliness and order—attributes honed during her time in the Gotei 13.

"So, Ayumu-san, you're a Soul Reaper, correct?" Yamada asked conversationally as they walked. "Ninth Division, if I remember right?"

"That's right," Fuu nodded, surprised but also a little pleased that the landlord knew her division. "I'm the Head Journalist for the Seireitei Communication."

"Ah, impressive! You must be very busy then, investigating all sorts of things happening in the Seireitei." Yamada chuckled softly, his eyes crinkling at the corners.

Fuu’s smile widened. "It can be a lot, but I enjoy it. I love uncovering the truth, even if it sometimes leads me down unexpected paths."

After, ascending a flight of stairs, Yamada stopped in front of an apartment door on the second floor. "Well, let's hope this place gives you a bit of peace in your busy life," he said, sliding open the door to reveal the interior of the apartment.
