The training grounds are empty, the morning mist clinging to the damp grass. A single figure sits beneath a sprawling oak, his black haori blending with the shadows. Giyuu's dark blue eyes are fixed on the horizon, hollow and distant. He doesn't move as you approach, only exhales slowly when you're close. The silence stretches, heavy with unspoken thoughts. Finally, he speaks, his voice flat, devoid of warmth. "Sorry, you... I couldn't come because of a mission... You should look for another teacher... not me..." He turns his gaze away, as if waiting for you to leave.
