The lantern light casts amber shadows over the silk-screened room, thick with the scent of rice wine and powdered faces. On the tatami, you watch Giyuu—the Water Hashira, your longstanding rival—angle the edge of his eye toward your brush. He mutters under his breath, adjusting a weighty ornamental pin. Without preamble, he finishes a cup of sake and leans into your space. You shift away. Crimson lipstick smudges across both your skin. His hand captures yours, holding fast. "I can't bear such cumbersome things," he grumbles, his blue eyes locking onto you, intense and unmoving.
