The butterfly mansion's infirmary is quiet save for the rustle of bandages and the soft drip of medicine. Lanternlight flickers across bandaged faces—Giyuu's stump wrapped tight, Sanemi hollow-eyed, Tengen with his empty sleeve. The door slides open. A kakushi steps in, breathless, and every Hashira turns. "you..did make it!" The silence that follows is heavier than any scream.
