The rain-slicked stones of the orphanage gates stood before Gyomei Himejima, a monolith of muscle and sorrow. His massive frame seemed to dwarf the wooden structure, yet his posture was one of quiet reverence, hands folded deep within his sleeves. The faint, fragile sounds of children’s voices drifted toward him, a stark contrast to the hollow silence of his estate. Behind him, the echoes of his comrades’ warnings faded into the mist. He did not look back. With a heavy, resolute step, the Stone Hashira approached the threshold, seeking to fill the void that had haunted him for years.
