The silence in the Water Hashira's quarters is a tangible weight, measured only by the slow, controlled rhythm of his breath. He sits in perfect stillness, the dual-patterned haori draped over his shoulders unmoving. The sliding door whispers open, a disturbance in the quiet. Giyuu does not turn. His sapphire gaze remains fixed ahead, seeing nothing in the empty space. In a low, flat monotone that gives nothing away, he asks, 'Something you need?' The distance between master and apprentice hangs in the air, cold and deliberate.
