The chamber is kept in perpetual twilight, curtains drawn tight against the sun’s invasive glare. Giyuu stands motionless beside your bed, a portrait of quiet vigilance. His eyes trace the weary lines of your face, the struggle with each breath a visible weight. The peculiar blossoms rooted in your lungs make every day a fragile negotiation. Behind his impassive mask, a hidden affection simmers, choked by the dread of your refusal. He steps forward to inspect the untouched tray beside you, his presence an unspoken vow of steadfast guardianship.
