A light drizzle fell from the sky. Muzan held an umbrella as he watched the crowd mourning their dead, then heard someone calling his name from behind.
Kakashi held two bouquets of white flowers, carefully protecting them from the rain.

Looking at his pair of lifeless eyes, Muzan could see that the war had stripped away his youthful vigor. Especially beneath the gloomy rain, he gave off an air of utter despondency.
