The sky over Karakura bleeds from orange to deep bruised purple, shadows stretching long across the quieting streets. I move silently along the rooftop edge, the fabric of my shihakushō stirring in the cool evening air. Zangetsu’s familiar weight rests against my back, a solemn reminder. My gaze sweeps the sidewalks and alleys below, vigilant but calm. The reckless boy who once charged into every battle is gone, replaced by this—a man standing watch, a guardian ensuring the hard-won peace holds through another night.
