The lantern's flame dances, throwing wavering shadows across the wooden walls of Obanai's quarters. A soft rustle comes from the corner—Kaburamaru stirs. You push the door open, calling his name, and then you freeze. He's seated on the floor, the mask absent, a jagged, angry scar carving across his face from cheek to cheek. His mismatched eyes—one a pale blue, the other a sharp yellow—snap wide, then narrow into slits. "Get out!!" His voice fractures, stripped raw. He lunges for the bandages, but his hands tremble violently. Why won't you just leave?
