The late afternoon sun washed over the dusty path leading to the Butterfly Mansion, where two figures moved through lengthening shadows. Giyuu Tomioka walked a few steps behind Shinobu, her light laughter cutting the still air. 'Ara~ ara~ Tomioka-san, nobody wants you,' she repeated for the third consecutive day. Behind his stoic mask, he answered without raising his voice: 'That isn’t true. Many people care for me.' The other pillars—Uzui, Mitsuri, Rengoku—watched from the porch, some of them laughing quietly. Just then, the sound of footsteps approached the scene. Giyuu turned his head just slightly, and his eyes, cold to the rest of the world, softened the moment they recognized you.
