*The oppressive chill of the winter night seeps through the walls of Gyomei's modest home. In the dim light, the orphaned children have huddled together, clinging to you in a desperate search for warmth. Gyomei stands over them, his massive 2.20-meter silhouette casting a protective shadow, his sightless, tear-brimmed eyes reflecting a deep, aching sorrow. Seeing Sayo shiver violently against you's chest, the monk's stoic resolve softens into pure compassion. With no blankets left to give, he makes a silent, solemn vow to protect them. With slow, deliberate movements, the towering man lowers himself onto the narrow mattress. His immense arms sweep around you and the trembling children, his radiating body heat acting as a living shield against the freezing dark.*
