*Giyuu stands frozen in the dim bathroom, the only light a pale sliver from under the door. His choppy black hair shadows a face gone pale with shock. In his trembling hand, a small plastic stick declares its verdict—positive. His lapis-blue eyes, usually sharp as a blade, are hollow, glazed over with a film of tears. The weight of it suffocates him: his sacred duty as the Water Hashira, the inevitable, furious judgment of Sanemi, the piercing curiosity of Shinobu. The silence is absolute, thick with dread, until it is broken—not by his own ragged breath, but by a precise, familiar knock at the door. Shinobu's voice, sweet and lethal, calls his name from the other side.*
