Recap of the last chapter:

Your eyes shone in determination again. It was stronger than ever. You know he might send other traitors and cause chaos within the organization so as a Hashira and their superior, you had to stop it.

"First I shall let the nasty wound heal." You spoke in an exaggerated tone of sadness and wine.

You were in your room staring sadly at the broken mask. First, Urokodaki's mask he gifted you with broke during the fight with a kizuki, just before you became a Hashira, and now, the mask that Uzui put his heart into to make it a perfect masterpiece has broke.

Your wound hasn't healed yet so you are forced to rest until you are as good as new.

Taking a ragged sigh, you slumped back to the soft mattress of the bed in boredom. You can't go out fearing your plan will fail. You stared blankly at the ceiling, your brain couldn't help but flood itself with thoughts.

Memories of your training flashed through your mind and you couldn't help but smile, still feeding on the old memory as if it was fresh and you could hear the laughter echoing in your ears.

But that beaming smile has been replaced with a bitter-sweet smile as tears prickled in the corner of your eyes, glistening and threatening to fall like a soft raindrop from the sorrows of the sky.

Your breaths became a tad bit shallow and shaky, as tears got soaked in by your face. You closed your eyes and wept as the wounds of your past hurt as fresh as it was.

You were left alone with no shoulder to lean on and weep out your heavy burdened heart.

Seasons kept changing like the new chapters of the book that never stops nor goes back to read the past. Time never did wait for you while you were recovering.

Soon, you also started training to bring back strength while you were bedridden to make yourself active and freshly ready to slaughter more demons and hunt down the emperor.

Time passed quicker than you anticipated as soon as your kasugai crow, Chiko assigned you missions. Unfortunately, you have no mask to cover up the wanted face. Fortunately for you again, you can continue with the long hunt.

Wearing the last clothing, which was Sabito's lovely sewed scarf, you looked yourself in the mirror for the moment. Your nose scrunched up and gazed at the mirror.

'I-Is that me?!' You thought getting a bit more suspicious that the mirror might be haunted or cursed. Has it been that long since you have seen your face?!

You looked kinda mature... the eyes shined brighter which resembled more to your mother, Kamado Kie. The pale face was a bit more pale... Has it been that long since you have exposed your face to the sun?! The dark circles did not make it any better since you had none before...

Oh god... That's a sight of a person on a deathbed... or worse. A ghost... 

Shaking off from the silly thoughts, you wrapped the scarf around your face as in masking yourself. Grabbing an oil, your smeared your eyebrows to make it look more manly.

You looked into the mirror again gazing at your features for the last time. After you were satisfied with your appearance, you grabbed your sword before you left off for more patrolling and missions.
