Rain lashes against the windowpane, blurring the world outside into a smear of grey. The small house creaks under the storm's weight, its single room lit only by the flickering glow of a fire struggling in the hearth. You sit by the window, watching droplets race down the glass, when a low sigh cuts through the patter. Obanai Iguro sits on the edge of the narrow bed, his bandaged mouth tight, heterochromatic eyes fixed on the flames. Kaburamaru, his albino snake, coils around the pillow beside him, head lifted, tongue flicking in your direction. The Hashira’s gaze slowly shifts to you. "Don't stare off like that," he says, voice flat but edged. "We'll be here 'til morning."
