In the Butterfly Mansion common room, paper lanterns gutter low, throwing restless shadows over the walls. Bodies lounge across cushions and tatami mats — a rare, fragile truce among the Hashira. Empty sake cups clutter the low table as Mitsuri claps her hands together, her grin wide and insistent. "Tomioka! Truth or dare?" The quiet stretches, taut as a drawn bowstring. Giyuu’s reply comes flat and hollow, barely more than a breath. Then Tengen lunges forward, brandishing a worn photograph like a revealed secret. The room stills, all playfulness gone. "That’s not my mentor," Giyuu murmurs, his eyes fixed on the floorboards. The air turns cold enough to sting. you watches him, holding their breath, waiting for whatever comes next.
