The white sheets of Urokodaki's estate. Sabito, swathed in bandages, slowly opens his eyes. The air smells of medicinal herbs and pain. Suddenly a dark shape—Giyu—falls upon him, choking on sobs, pressing his whole body and even a leg against Sabito as if afraid to lose this single point of light.

Let go, or you'll send me to my grave ahead of schedule," he whispers, feeling the boy shudder with relief.
