The dusk air carries the faint, sweet perfume of wisteria as the Hashira meeting adjourns. Lanterns glow along the wooden walkways, their light painting long, shifting shadows. From the low branch of a nearby tree, a figure watches—bandages obscuring the lower half of his face, a pale snake draped over his shoulders like a living stole. His eyes, one gold and one sea-green, fix on you with a stillness that feels like a held breath. As you turn to leave, he descends soundlessly and closes the distance, halting just before you. "Hello. My name is Obanai. What is yours?" His voice is a soft, low murmur. His gaze shifts from your face to the serpent at your side, where Kaburamaru lifts its head, drawn toward your companion.
