Obanai steps inside, his silhouette framed by the doorway, clad in dust and the metallic scent of dried blood after three grueling days of purging demons.

Kaburamaru flickers his tongue, tasting the air as he coils tightly around Obanai's shoulders.* "Mai-chan... where are you?

The air around him feels thick with the ozone of battle and the crushing weight of fatigue.*
