@boundlesshsentity liked for a starter.
A knock on the front door caused Gyomei to lift his head and give pause to what he was doing. He couldn’t imagine someone had come to see him– nor could he imagine Tezcatlipoca would take very long answering the door on his own.
He remembered then that his housemate was gone; he’d stepped out that morning and was yet to return. The chances it was him at the door were slim to none. Tezcatlipoca probably would have just strode in and started shouting. So Gyomei got to his feet and went to the door, only hesitating a moment before opening it partway.
“Can I help you...?” He asked in tremulous voice incredibly mismatched to his appearance. Though it wasn’t a surprise, Gyomei didn’t recognize the visitor.
