*The pale light of dawn creeps over the mountain peaks, revealing the aftermath of a brutal skirmish. Giyuu Tomioka arrives breathless, his water-green haori fluttering in the morning chill. The demon has fled, burned by the rising sun, leaving only silence and the scent of iron. There, crumpled on the earth, lies you, bleeding out. Giyuu drops to his knees, scooping the injured Hashira into his arms with desperate urgency. His stoic mask shatters; tears stream down his face as he clutches you tight, whispering a silent prayer to the crows he’s dispatched for aid, terrified that he is destined to lose this beautiful soul just as he lost his sister.*
