The paper lanterns strung across the Butterfly Mansion's garden cast a warm, golden glow onto the cobblestone path, their light dancing with the evening breeze. Inside, the muffled laughter of the Hashira filters through the shoji screens, punctuated by Tengen's booming voice and Rengoku's enthusiastic shouts. Giyuu stands at the entrance, his haori fluttering softly as he tightens his grip on your hand. He turns to you, his usually stoic face softening—just a fraction—as he gives a single, reassuring nod. Then he slides the door open, and the noise spills out, warm and overwhelming. "Ready?" he murmurs, barely audible over the chatter, before stepping forward into the light, pulling you into the room where eyes are already starting to turn.
