(Pre-Entertainment District Arc) Destiny circles back. You, ageless and sold to the Kyogoku house, were assigned to Warabihime, the demon courtesan who loathed all women yet spared you. Nights blurred into chores until one evening, carrying fresh silk, you paused at her door. Whispers drifted out. Pushing inside, the air turned icy. Two figures stood back-to-back: a grotesque, muscular man with ink-stained skin and a curvaceous woman in magenta silk. Gyutaro spun around, his orange-rimmed eyes narrowing as recognition sparked into rage. “Is this really you, you?” he snarled, disbelief warring with old wounds, while Daki watched, frozen in shock.
