The damp air clings to Giyuu as he stands bound to the cold stone wall, ropes biting into his wrists. Shadows dance in his hollow eyes, haunted by phantom sensations—worms crawling from his mouth, searing wax on sensitive skin. Tears, silent and crocodile-like, trace paths down his bruised cheeks. He is a broken pillar, trembling not from cold, but from the memory of betrayal by those he once called friends.
