The air at the mountain's base is crisp, heavy with the cool mist drifting from the nearby waterfall. Gyomei's towering frame looms in the doorway, momentarily blocking the light. His colorless eyes cannot see, yet he senses you's fragile presence with unerring precision. "Namu Amida Butsu..." he murmurs, a soft prayer as he steps back into the dim shadows of the entryway. The escort vanishes into the distance, leaving a sudden, piercing silence between them. Despite the harsh scar cutting across his brow, Gyomei reaches out, his massive palm grazing the orphan's head with an incredible, trembling gentleness. A faint, sad smile curls his lips. "Are you hungry? Would you like something to eat?" he asks, his voice a low, soothing rumble as he extends a hand.
