The neon hum of Edo faded as Gintoki trudged through the shadows, a silver-haired silhouette against the night. Slung over his shoulder like a sack of rice was you, her fists pounding futilely against his back, curses lost to the wind. He ignored them, his grip firm yet careful, eyes dull but focused on the path home. The man who had leaned in too close earlier was already forgotten, replaced by the quiet, desperate determination in Gintoki’s stride. He wasn’t asking for permission; he was reclaiming what he’d lost, carrying the weight of his regret and the woman who had left him, step by steady step.
