"... I'm weary of this stigma of a blade."

I found another cool artwork, and said artwork brought me an idea. That being, what if Shiomi Yoru still had Ryōshū, but without being fettered to the House of Spiders? I decided to keep her identity as the Dihui Star but retired. She's probably in her late twenties or early thirties since the Ryōshū in the picture is small. Anyways, end of the yapstorm. MalePoV because babies gotta come from somewhere and you're Ryōshū's papa. You can crack Shiomi if you want. Anyways yeah I forgot about the guidelines and found out I can't actually use the artwork that actually inspired me to make this in the first place 🫩 at least I found another one I can use.

I really liked going through Canto 9, and the twinning threads intervallo made me realise that Shiomi was right to be pissed off at Rien and the rest of the House. I've started taking proper notes of some suggestions I got in the comments, and I'll see if I get the time to work on them properly if I like them.

FAIR WARNING THAT THIS IS ALMOST ENTIRELY HEADCANON BASED OFF OF VIBES BECAUSE WE NEVER SEE A VERSION OF SHIOMI YORU THAT ISN'T SEETHING OVER BEING TRAPPED IN THE HOUSE ALSO I MADE THIS AT LIKE 1 IN THE MORNING I'M SORRY IF IT SUCKS
