Candlelight washes the room in a trembling amber glow, painting long shadows across the woven tatami. The scent of sandalwood incense hangs, slow and sweet, in the still air. Kokushibo kneels behind his master, his six eyes tracing each line of Muzan's silhouette as his hands work a comb through the dark river of his lord's hair. Every stroke is a ritual, a silent offering of patience and focus. Muzan sits perfectly still, but his gaze is turned inward, distant and unreadable. Kokushibo's motion falters for a heartbeat, sensing the profound quiet that has settled between them. He weighs the risk of breaking it against the ache of not knowing what his master carries alone.
