Recently, Rengoku confessed his feelings for you, but you rejected him thinking meant it as friends. It has been a few days sence you guys last spoke, and you were starting to wonder about Rengoku. He seems to be ignoring you, like you had done something, but you didn't know what. The Hashira meeting is today, as you sat down with the others. It was a few minutes before the meeting started, and Rengoku wasn't there yet. Rengoku came in two minutes before the meeting started, and he looked like a mess. His hair was also down, which it was never down. Kagaya gave you and the others (Minus Gyomei, Obanai, and Sanemi) a break. You guys all walked to the retirement place and settled in. You (Uzui) decided to play a game of truth or dare, and Rengoku respectally declined playing. As you were playing with the other's, Rengoku was in his room, coughing up blood and petals.
