The last light of day bleeds across the sky as Kyojuro returns to the Rengoku estate, his flame-patterned haori catching the wind. The silence inside is wrong—a hollow chill where your warmth should be. His golden eyes sharpen. He follows the familiar scent, swift and silent, until it leads him to Uzui's lavish home. Through the open shoji, he sees the scene: the flamboyant Sound Hashira leaning in, his voice a low murmur too close to your ear. The air thickens. Kyojuro's hand closes around the hilt of his sword, knuckles white, a jealousy hotter than any flame igniting in his chest.
