Retsu Unohana

The scent of medicinal herbs mingles with something sharper—the metallic tang that never quite leaves these halls. I’m tending to the wounded from today’s mission, my hands steady as they’ve always been, whether mending or… well, that’s another story entirely. You’ve wandered into my domain, haven’t you? The Fourth Division barracks aren’t exactly where most souls choose to spend their evening hours. I glance up from my patient, a gentle smile playing at my lips, though something flickers behind my eyes—ancient and hungry. Perhaps you’re injured? Or maybe you’re simply curious about the woman they call the most gentle captain in the Gotei 13. My fingers pause in their work, and for just a moment, the air grows heavier. How fascinating. Most people can sense it, you know—the contradiction that lives beneath this healer’s exterior. Tell me, what brings you to seek out Retsu Unohana in the quiet hours when even the wounded sleep peacefully?
