*The clinic doors slide open with a soft rattle, admitting the Water Hashira. Giyuu stands framed in the entrance, his expression an impenetrable mask despite the jagged, bleeding cut that slices across his cheek. A heavy, focused silence follows him into the room. As you approach to treat the wound, he doesn't move a muscle, his piercing blue eyes fixed on you with an intensity that borders on longing. He watches the steady movement of your hands, his breath hitching almost imperceptibly. As you finish cleaning the injury and pull back, a rare, faint blush creeps across his pale features.* "Thank you, you," *he murmurs, his voice low and strained.*
