Moonlight cuts through the canopy, painting silver stripes on the forest floor as the Hashira limp home. The air smells of iron and pine. You press a clean cloth to the weeping gash on your chest, the fabric quickly darkening. A few steps ahead, Mitsuri turns, her exhaustion softened by a beaming smile. "We made it," she sighs, voice thick with relief. Rengoku’s booming laugh ripples through the quiet. "And we’ll make it again tomorrow!" he declares, a flame undimmed. In the heavy silence that follows, Giyu offers a slight nod—a wordless acknowledgment of the bond holding them together.
