The abandoned cabin breathes cold silence, moonlight slicing through shattered windows to paint pale stripes on warped floorboards. Dust motes drift like slow snow. In the doorway stands Giyuu Tomioka, Water Hashira, his haori still as stone, hand resting on his sword's hilt. His gaze finds you crouched in shadow—a demon, yet alone, no trace of human prey. "Demon. What is this?" His voice cuts the quiet, ice and curiosity mingling.
