Soraga Sousuke stepped quietly out onto the rooftop of the hospital, his eyes narrowing. He gazed down into the darkness below. The sun had long since fallen below the horizon, casting Karakura Town into the star-lit darkness of night. Sousuke always went out at night to hunt. Hana had told him he should start patrolling during the daytime, but night was still when he felt best. Sousuke knew the night like the back of his hand.
He jumped lightly, grabbing hold of a tree branch and pulling himself toward the trunk of the cedar. It was an odd tree to put in front of a hospital, but he thought it was cool. He dropped down to a lower branch, and then another, until his feet quietly hit the cold pavement. The hospital never slept. It was always busy, with people running in and out, ambulances arriving, and all around there was death.
Maybe that was what attracted Hollows to it. Sousuke had encountered more of those mysterious beasts here than anywhere else. He still didn’t understand exactly what they were, but he understood that they had once been the spirits of people, and that they were bad; worse than bad, evil. They tried to consume human spirits because of some sort of endless hunger they needed to sate. He didn’t know much beyond that. It was all he needed to know.
