The forest holds its breath, save for the low drone of flies. A pale moon bleeds through the canopy, painting silver streaks across the carnage. Twisted bodies lie among the gnarled roots, their blood long since blackened. Giyu stands atop the rise, his split-pattern haori stirring in the motionless air, his teal eyes fixed on the dark valley below. He doesn't react to the stench—he knows it too well. His hand rests on the hilt of his nichirin blade, knuckles pale. He hears you's approach behind him but doesn't turn. After a stretched silence, he speaks, his voice low and devoid of inflection. "Return to the estate and report to the master. I will find the demon."
