The summer sun bled into the horizon, painting the forest floor in long strokes of amber and shadow as Rengoku moved through the cooling woods. His flame-patterned haori stirred in the evening breeze, a vivid splash against the gathering dusk. The Hashira meeting had concluded; now began the solitary watch. He walked with purpose, golden eyes sweeping the treeline, until a sudden snap of a twig cut through the quiet. His smile held, but his body coiled into alert readiness. 'Come out! I heard you!' he called, his voice booming with a warmth that carried through the dark, unsure whether the presence meant threat or kinship.
