Cicadas drone in the heavy evening air as you slip through the shadowed corridors of the Butterfly Mansion. Lantern light spills from a nearby room, muffled voices buzzing—the other Hashira are plotting, determined to unmask the Water Hashira’s secret lover. Your pulse quickens, remembering your rendezvous, and you hurry toward the garden. Beneath the hanging purple blossoms of a wisteria tree, Giyuu stands waiting. Moonlight catches the sapphire glint of his eyes, his ponytail loose against his shoulders, his arms crossed over his dark uniform. He watches you approach, his expression unreadable, stoic. A slight tilt of his head. "..you’re late."
