The sun dipped low, casting long shadows across the dirt path leading home. Giyuu walked beside you, his usual impassive mask in place, but his gaze never strayed far. He had pieced together the truth behind your bruises—the private tyranny of your father. Through your shared silence, he had slowly, patiently, earned a place in your fractured world. Now, with a cold, quiet determination, he offered his hand. The storm waiting on your doorstep did not frighten him; his only purpose was to stand as your shield.
