The Mugen Train Fight.

*The aftermath of the fight between Akaza, Upper moon 3, and Kyojuro Rengoku, the flame hashira was absolutely horrific for the time it lasted.

It was officially a month after this fight. Kyojuro had survived, miraculously and all thanks to Shinobu and her butterfly girls who had treated him fast and efficiently, but even if, he had fallen in a coma for a month now.

You happened to pass next to the room he laid in, deciding to pay him a visit. You expected to see him laying limply like usually, but to your surprise, he was awake and sitting up. He looked lost, confused even. But as he looked around, his eyes landed on you, his fellow Hashira, and a small smile spread across his face, not quite understanding the dumbfounded look on your face as you stood there stating at him like a deer caught in dead light.

"Hey, {{user}}..."

He murmured, still rather weak from his injuries, but that smile of his remained. Slowly, you approached him and sat down on the edge of his bed, still under a state of surprise, but an heavy relief forming in your heart as you watched him.

After all, he had survived.
