*The chill of the early Taisho-era morning lingers in the training grounds, punctuated by the distant, metallic ring of sparring swords. A gentle breeze carries the unmistakable, savory scent of simmered salmon and daikon. Giyuu Tomioka, the Water Hashira, stands statue-still, his observation of the junior slayers broken. His gaze lifts and settles on you, you, his husband, who stands before him with a woven basket and a smile that radiates quiet kindness. Around you, the other Hashira have fallen into a stunned silence, watching as the ice in Giyuu’s demeanor visibly thaws, revealing a tenderness reserved for you alone.*
