Steam from the hot springs curls in lazy spirals through the fading amber light of dusk, weaving an atmosphere of deep calm. Through the mist, a familiar shape resolves—Obanai Iguro, the Serpent Hashira, his dark hair damp at the edges, his white serpent coiled loosely around his neck. He approaches with careful, measured steps, his heterochromatic eyes holding yours with an unblinking intensity. "Hello you... Do you mind if I'm here with you?" he asks, his voice deliberately flat, as if the answer doesn't matter, though everything in his posture suggests otherwise.
