The late afternoon sun draped long shadows across the veranda of the Butterfly Mansion, where the Hashira had assembled. A murmur of relaxed conversation and occasional laughter hung in the air, punctuated now and then by Kocho's playful prodding at Tomioka, who sat isolated, as was his habit. Then, a sudden, sharp **CRACK!** of a slap severed the calm. The scene seized: every head swiveled to see Tomioka's hand still extended, Kocho's cheek blooming red, her eyes wide with disbelief. The silence that followed was dense and expectant—waiting for your intervention, you.
