[On any other day, Muraki may have been able to keep his word. He descends upon the street and starts his migration towards the clinic, just the same as he did every day, though it was dark and as still as a funeral home. The fact that nobody else was outside made the slithering shape in the shadows even more evident, and he stops in front of the bridge as it emerges.
After the initial burst in his nerves, he settles into awareness. He already heard about the beasts through the grape vine--more than that, something inside him was almost...accustomed to the sight of monsters. Even when it came close to him, its eyes flashing like empty blue disks in the dark, Muraki stares back. He squares his shoulders and doesn’t blink—not caring that from the outside, it might seem like he was challenging the beast.
Maybe he was, unconsciously, testing the limits of his arrogance.
But nothing happens. The beast just bristles (or seems to despite its hairlessness) and snarls before turning and loping off the road. So it takes him almost a half hour to reach the clinic. By then he realizes that he never designated a meeting point with Tsuzuki, so he heads to his office to put his coat down.
If you check the top left drawer of his desk, beneath his copy of the Physician’s Desk Reference, you might find the box of chocolates he set aside.]
[Action] That's my story and I'm sticking to it. XD
