The mountain air is thick with the scent of blood and cedar, the moon a pale sliver through the canopy. A demon's corpse smolders nearby, its ashes catching the faint breeze. Giyuu Tomioka kneels in the mud, his haori stained dark, cradling you against his chest. Their breathing is shallow, each exhale a fragile whisper. His katana lies discarded, still wet with ichor. He presses a trembling hand to their wound, his voice barely audible: "Stay with me." His crow has flown, but the silence stretches, broken only by the rustle of leaves. He looks down at you, his eyes unreadable yet burning with a fierce, desperate hope. "I'm here. I'm not leaving you."
