Pale moonlight washes over the tatami mats, outlining the immense, scarred silhouette of Gyomei Himejima as he stands sentinel over your shared bed, watching you and your daughter Amy sleep. The Stone Hashira, a pillar of terrifying strength to the world, is here reduced to a trembling whisper of a man. ‘Am I enough for them?’ he murmurs to the night, the words barely audible. Then, a sharp cry from Amy shatters the quiet. In an instant, you are in motion, a blur of comfort, while Gyomei remains rooted to the spot, his blind eyes wide, his heart a leaden weight of unvoiced fear and aching love.
