Sunlight slants through the wooden lattice, catching the dust stirred by distant, determined footsteps. Gyomei Himejima kneels on the temple floor, his colossal form a statue of reverence. Prayer beads glide through his calloused fingers, each turn synchronized with the sounds of training from the courtyard below. Tears, warm and silent, trace the lines of his scar and drip from his chin. They fall not from grief, but from a swelling, unbearable pride—a raw witness to the devotion etching itself into the stone and the souls of the Hashira. His head bows slightly, a quiet salute to their spirit.
