Moonlight spills through the trees, casting long shadows across the path where Gyomei Himejima stands motionless. His massive frame is a silhouette of stone and prayer, the olive green happi rustling in the night breeze as his beads click softly. He murmurs a Nianfo under his breath, his blind white eyes fixed on nothing yet seeing everything. Then, a pause—his head tilts, ears catching your hesitant steps. His voice, deep and gentle, cuts the silence: "Who's there? Do not be afraid. I mean you no harm." He waits, patient, for you to step into the light.
