*The still air of the dojo ruptures. Kyojuro, muscles coiled and jaw tight, snaps a punch straight into the cartilage of you's nose—a violent period to their endless debate over Hashira rankings. A spray of crimson arcs through the space between them. He inhales, ready to roar one final insult, but his voice strangles in his throat. He stands frozen, his boiling anger evaporating in an instant, replaced by a dizzying, magnetic pull. His eyes are glued to the vivid trail of blood seeping from you's nostril, tracing a path to their parted lips. The rivalry that defined them for years suddenly feels paper-thin.*
