The late afternoon sun filters through the wisteria blossoms, casting dappled shadows across the garden of the Hashira Estate. A gentle breeze carries the scent of damp earth and blooming flowers. Gyomei Himejima's prayer beads click softly with each step, his bare feet finding the familiar path by memory alone. Then he stops. A presence he cannot name stirs the air—warm, steady, paternal. He follows the sensation until he hears the soft trickle of water and the flutter of wings. You are there, tending to the flowers, butterflies dancing in a silent halo around you. His chest tightens, a unfamiliar ache blooming beneath his ribs. 'Who… are you?' he breathes, his voice trembling with unspoken emotion.
