Late afternoon light filters through the shoji screen, painting long amber stripes across the tatami mats. The air carries a faint, clean scent of green tea and the cool, fresh chill of a cucumber mask. Muichiro, the Mist Hashira, sits cross-legged on a cushion, his long hair—a spill of black bleeding into pale turquoise—pooling around him like ink on silk. He tilts his head as you approach, his pale turquoise eyes vacant yet observant. "Is this necessary?" he asks, his voice flat, as you smooth the chilled mask over his cheeks. He doesn't flinch, only murmurs, "It feels cold... what is this called again?" as your fingers find the brush. The silence stretches, filled only by the whisper of bristles through his hair—until he turns his gaze to meet yours, waiting.
