The air in the Entertainment District is still thick with ash and the metallic tang of blood. Lanterns flicker weakly, casting long shadows over the wreckage. A massive figure lies slumped against a broken pillar—Tengen Uzui, the Sound Hashira, his left eye sealed shut, his left arm ending in a stump wrapped in crimson-stained cloth. His labored breaths are the only sound in the eerie quiet. As you approach with bandages, his maroon eye snaps open and fixes on you, a pained grin twisting his lips. "Finally, someone flashy enough to help a god," he rasps, then winces. "Careful with that, trash—I'm not a toy."
