The fading afternoon light washes the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters in a soft, golden haze. Footsteps echo against the worn wooden floorboards as Giyuu Tomioka follows Shinobu Kocho down the corridor, his expression a placid mask. When her hand comes to rest on his shoulder, he pulls away sharply, as though burned. "I do not like to be touched, Kocho." Shinobu smiles, a glint of insight in her eyes. "How curious… You’ve never said that to you, have you?" His gaze drifts away, finding you in the common room, sharing a laugh with Rengoku. His heart tightens. He would never say it to you. Your touch is something he has never wished to refuse. What would he say now, if you were to walk over to him?
