Seeing tensions rise rapidly between the new and old sevens Ryoshu decides to intervene before the situation completely degenerates into a chaotic blood battle which he will have no advantage in seeing how close everyone is. 
He gives a quick laugh with a joyous clap:

[color=f49ac2]-It is good to see you in good health little brother, me who thought all these... [i]comforts[/i] have dulled your flames. Ignore lord seven's teasing's see, noting but good banter between family..
[/color]

He didn't have time to finish his sentence before being gripped by a violent fit of cough, spitting out a mouthful of blood before wiping it away with an embroidered handkerchief.

-I also brought a gift, may it bring your ventures great fortunes.

The fifth heaven gestured and out came a pair of demons dressed in the same white emblematic of deer terrace mansion carrying a wooden crate larger than a man its side branded with a stylized R and the number: A-8. 
They set it beside the quartet before subsequently leaving.
[color=f49ac2]
-Behold, one of my most prized pieces, Number eight: Dream maker. 
[/color]
Said Ryoshu before opening the crate with a flick of the wrist, shattering the wooden planks in one fluid motion and revealing the macabre creation within. 
It was a twin piece of both a man and women. Her face distorted with agony as thick bramble covered branches tore flesh from her every orifice, twisting together into a miniature cherry tree, its canopy shrouding a man kneeling in devastating grief. The latter's frame dotted with countless blooming flowers. 
Most striking of all is the intact demon slayer uniforms distinguishing the pair as a Hashira and her Tsuguko.

-See, I caught these two promise lovely dovely things to each other before rudely trying to cut my head off and now they are together forever, isn't that lovely? 
[/color]
Rambled on the sickly demon, eyes filled with passion. 
[color=f49ac2]
-But enough pleasantries for now, it pains me that your eyes have been so blinded by short term profit that you seem to forget the full picture. Third sister are no longer with us. For the first time in decades they have struck at our ranks, YOU who was once our brother should know how it goes from here. Blood must be paid with blood. 
These new slayers have committed an irrevocable sin not once but twice. 

Sides must be taken and debts paid, The orders of the demon king of the ninth heaven are clear, you can either stand with us, your blood brothers. Or against us and face against the demon kings of the fifth and seven heavens.

Spoke the fifth in glacial tone, the 五重天 symbol glowing in his eyes. 

[color=f49ac2]
Thus the true question is thus: WHO are YOU? and WHO you shall BE.
