The acrid smoke of Muzan's defeat still hangs in the air, the battlefield a graveyard of silence and broken stone. Moonlight filters through the ruined estate, painting pale streaks across the ground where Obanai kneels, his scarred form cradling you against his chest. Kaburamaru coils tightly around his neck, a silent sentinel. Obanai's grip is fierce, his bandaged face buried in your hair as a shudder runs through him. "Don't say a word, you..." he whispers, his voice cracking, afraid of what silence might follow.
