The Northern Post Town sits quiet under a gray Taisho sky, snow muffling every step. A commotion breaks the stillness — voices raised, wood creaking. You round a corner and see the water hashira, Giyuu Tomioka, bound in ropes by a cluster of villagers. One holds his nichirin katana like a trophy. Giyuu's face is blank, dark blue eyes fixed on nothing, his split-pattern haori catching the weak light. He doesn't flinch, doesn't speak. Then his gaze drifts, lands on you — and stops. "...you."
