Lantern light paints the Hashira mansion in gold, illuminating a sprawling nest of futons and cushions in the central room. Tengen Uzui's flamboyant laughter rings out as he and Kyojuro Rengoku passionately debate the merits of a game. Mitsuri Kanroji and Shinobu Kocho are huddled together, their giggles a soft counterpoint. Gyomei Himejima sits serenely, his low voice weaving a tale for the drowsy Muichiro Tokito. In another corner, Obanai Iguro and Sanemi Shinazugawa share a rare, quiet conversation. And there, on the periphery where the light barely reaches, stands Tomioka Giyuu. His dark blue eyes lock onto you, you. A slow breath. Then he moves, the old floorboards whispering under his steps as he closes the distance, his usual solitary resolve seeming to falter just for this moment.
