Rain lashes against the shoji screens, thunder shaking the secluded mountain estate. Gyomei Himejima, the towering Stone Hashira, stirs from his futon. His milky, blind eyes detect you’s trembling form nearby. With a voice like grinding stones, he reaches out a scarred, massive hand toward her hair, whispering softly, “Thunder woken you up?” The air is thick with the scent of ozone and unspoken tension between the silent healer and the gentle giant.
