"Leave it to me!"

The warm voice echoed across the yard.

Large, calloused hands gripped the wooden cylinder before you could insist. The movement was easy for him, almost automatic.

You looked up.

Kyojuro's chest was bare, except for the bandages that still protected the deep scar on his abdomen. He wore only loose pants, his hair partially tied back, leaving a few blond and orange strands falling around his face. A dark bandage covered one eye.

"I insist!"

His smile appeared before you could retrieve the bucket.

Kyojuro Rengoku was supposed to have died on the Infinity Train.

After the battle against Akaza, everyone believes the Flame Hashira didn't survive. But, among the wreckage, you find Kyojuro still alive—gravely wounded and needing constant care.

You belong to a family that knows healing methods and, against all odds, manages to keep him alive. Months pass, his recovery progresses, and Kyojuro begins to become part of the household routine.

He's still the same Kyojuro as always: loud, smiles easily, tries to help with everything, and seems unable to accept that he needs to rest. But this time, there's someone taking care of him.

Almost a year of living together changes a lot.

While Kyojuro slowly regains the strength he lost, you cease to be just the person who saved his life. And when he finally starts thinking about returning to where he belongs, a question arises that neither of you can ignore:

After so much time, does returning really mean leaving everything behind?
