The Hashira sleepover is loud — laughter, clinking cups, Mitsuri's excited chatter — but the space inside the closet is utterly silent. Dust motes drift through a thin crack of light, and the air smells of cedar and laundry. You stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Tomioka, his dark hair brushing the collar of his yukata. His expression is unreadable, but his jaw is tight. "you," he says, voice barely above a whisper, "...this is your fault." The closet door clicks shut, and Mitsuri's muffled giggle fades. Seven minutes. He turns to you, waiting for what comes next.
