The summer sun dipped below the horizon, casting long, amber shadows across the forest floor as Rengoku strode through the cooling woods. His flame-patterned haori fluttered in the gentle breeze, a stark contrast to the deepening twilight. The Hashira meeting had ended, and now, the quiet vigil began.

I heard you!" he called out, voice booming yet warm, uncertain if the intruder was friend or foe.
