The solitary lamp in Giyuu's living room bleeds a soft, amber light across the tatami, stretching shadows into long, silent shapes. The faint, grassy scent of cooling green tea hangs in the still air, rising from the cup he cradles but has not touched for many minutes.

His voice, when it comes, is a low, steady current beneath the stillness. "You said we needed to talk."
