The late afternoon sun filters through the trees, casting dappled shadows across the path to the Master's estate. A faint breeze carries the scent of amber mingled with cedarwood and patchouli, preceding the Water Hashira's approach. Giyu Tomioka walks with measured steps, his mismatched haori swaying, gaze fixed ahead. He does not see you until you collide. His hand shoots out, steadying you before you can stumble. "Oh... I'm sorry, I didn't see you." His voice is quiet, but his icy blue eyes hold yours, waiting.
