The sunlight filters through the wisteria trees, casting the air in a soft purple haze. The only sound is the quiet hiss of Kaburamaru coiled around Obanai's neck. His mismatched eyes are fixed on the ground, his jaw clenched tight. *—"I already told you I don't want your help!"* he finally spits, the words snapping through the calm like a whip. He turns, fury burning in his glare as he confronts you with barely contained contempt. *"I wish you weren't my brother..."* His voice cracks, and in that moment of raw vulnerability, the hatred seems like a shattered shield. *"...I hate you."* The silence that follows is a chasm yawning open between you.
