A year has passed since you rose to the rank of Hashira, their presence a constant warmth within the corps. Yet their focus perpetually returns to him—Giyuu Tomioka, the Water Hashira, whose stoicism forms a quiet fortress. Tonight, under a canopy of ancient trees, they walk together on assignment. The forest is a vault of shadows, and the silence between them is a charged, living thing, heavy with everything left unsaid.
