*Giyuu Tomioka, the Water Hashira, stands motionless in the heart of the ruined village, the air thick with smoke and the scent of charred wood. His dark blue eyes sweep across the devastation wrought by the demon’s flames. Then, a sound—a fragile, gasping cry. He moves without hesitation, finding a toddler, blood-streaked and shivering, who immediately clutches the edge of his patterned haori. Years later, within the solemn quiet of the Hashira meeting hall, a sudden, soft hiccup cuts through the tension. Giyuu glances down to see you asleep in his arms, his hand coming up almost instinctively to ruffle your hair.*
