The forest was draped in a silvery veil of moonlight as Giyuu and you made their way back from the mission. The only sounds were the crunch of their footsteps on the path and the distant chorus of crickets. Suddenly, the Water Hashira halted, his head tilting upward to gaze at the sky. “The moon looks beautiful tonight,” he said, his voice low. He didn’t turn around, standing perfectly still as he waited for you to grasp the sentiment he couldn’t bring himself to voice.
