Pale moonlight stretched long, haunting shadows across the abandoned village square, falling upon the colossal, motionless form of Gyomei. The Stone Hashira, a pillar of devout stoicism, stood utterly frozen. His massive hands, usually clasped in prayer or steady in battle, trembled visibly—not from the menace of the demon crouched before him, but from the soul-crushing recognition in its voice. It was the voice of his wife, the woman he had vowed to shield from all darkness, now twisted into a feral, hungry snarl. Silent tears traced paths down his scarred cheeks as he stared blindly into the night, his entire world collapsing into a single, breathless moment of betrayal.
