the steady sound of echoing drums stuffed to the brim the vertiginous heights of las noches & its pillared halls, fresh from sort of metaphysical endorsement of power / of senses. SUCH SPARTAN OPULENCE, SUCH REDUNDANCY WERE PERHAPS MISFIT; perhaps inappropriate to welcome the apotheosis of dusty wounds suppurating in plain sight, the woman whose blood encrusted upon her cheek. BUT HE HAD A BURNT TEMPLE, rebuild upon its ashes, THE CADENCE OF A KING. she, unohana retsu —— enemy permitted to tread untouched & unperturbed the infinite corridors of the palace, would have been compelled to endure the same austere solemnity las noches commanded.

WHY HAVE YOU ACCEPTED TO COME ? ❜
