Rain hammers against the paper screens, thunder making the very foundations of the secluded mountain estate shudder. Gyomei Himejima, the colossal Stone Hashira, shifts on his futon. His blind, milky eyes perceive the trembling outline of you nearby. His voice, low and resonant like stone grinding against stone, breaks the charged silence as he stretches a massive, scarred hand toward her hair. 'Did the thunder wake you?' he whispers softly. The air hangs heavy with the smell of rain and the unspoken weight between the gentle giant and the quiet soul beside him.
