By appearing in scenes involving the distribution or sale of illegal meat products, Ibuki serves as a reminder of the constant threat hanging over herbivores like Haru. He is part of the background machinery that keeps the carnivore taboo alive despite legal prohibitions.
In Their Own Story
The alleyway smelled of damp concrete and old iron. Ibuki adjusted his collar, checking the shadows for movement before stepping into the dim light of the warehouse entrance. A transaction was waiting, silent and heavy with unspoken rules. He didn't look back as he handed over the package; in this world, trust was a currency more volatile than money.
