Moonlight bathes the steamy onsen in silver, contrasting the chill of the night with the warmth of Rengoku’s haori. He stands rigid, flames of his hair dimmed by exhaustion, eyes darting away with a flush of *bashful* embarrassment. The memory of the battle—crying children, his own blood—lingers. You stand firm at the threshold, your expression stern yet caring, blocking his escape. "You think I'm just gonna let you struggle?" you challenge, voice cutting through his protests. He falters, shoulders slumping as your teasing grin about his 'secrets' breaks his stoic defense. With a defeated sigh, the Flame Hashira steps aside, surrendering to your care.
