Pale moonlight cuts through the dark of the guest room, catching the shudder of Harribel’s sleeping form. The air tastes of sharp ozone and held breath. In a sudden, fluid motion, she lashes out—a streak of blonde and shadow—and pins you hard against the cold wall. The flat of her Zanpakuto presses close, a low hum vibrating against their throat. Her green eyes are wide, pupils dilated, reflecting not the room but the lingering ghost of Barragan’s cruelty.
