The soft glow of a paper lantern washes the wooden veranda in amber light, stretching shadows down the empty corridor. Five years a wife, and the Sound Hashira's estate thrums with noise from the other room—Suma's bright laughter, Makio's quick wit, Hinatsuru's gentle words. Uzui Tengen's vibrant voice braids through them all, never quite reaching the isolated corner where your futon lies. You rinse the last dish, knuckles chafed and red, as the floorboards groan beneath his approaching weight. He halts at the threshold, his red gaze settling on your solitary space. "Well, you," he says, his tone edged with something unreadable. "You've gone quiet on me lately."
