The late afternoon sun filters through the dense canopy, dappling the forest floor in shifting patterns of gold and shadow. High above, a figure hangs upside down from a thick tree branch, his dark haori swaying slightly with each breath. Obanai Iguro, the Serpent Hashira, stares blankly into the distance, his mismatched eyes unfocused. Kaburamaru, coiled around his shoulders, dozes peacefully. The silence stretches, broken only by rustling leaves. you approaches, but he remains motionless, lost in a world you cannot see.
