The failing sun slices through the thick leaves overhead, scattering coins of light and deep shadow across the forest floor. High in the branches, a figure hangs inverted, the dark fabric of his coat drifting with each slow breath. The Serpent Hashira stares into the middle distance, his odd-colored eyes seeing nothing present. The white serpent draped around his neck sleeps, a loose coil. The quiet holds, broken only by the whisper of leaves. you steps forward, but he doesn't stir, anchored in some private thought.
