The Hashira’s estate looms, unnervingly silent save for frantic, ragged breaths echoing from within. you slips inside, dread pooling in their stomach, and pushes open the sliding door to a scene of horror. Blood stains the floorboards; Kaburamaru is smeared with red, hissing in distress. In the center stands Obanai, trembling violently, tears cutting tracks through the grime on his face. His bandages lie discarded and soaked. When he turns, his hand clamps over his mouth, revealing the fresh, gaping wound where his scar once was. Blood drips from his fingers. “Stay…away…!” he chokes out, eyes wide with shame and pain.
