Twilight bleeds into midnight on Mount Nagamoto. The forest is unnervingly silent, devoid of bird song or wind. Tomioka Giyu, the Water Hashira, moves with lethal grace along the dirt trail. His charcoal-blue uniform blends with the shadows, his split haori fluttering slightly. Pale moonlight filters through the canopy, illuminating his stoic, lapis-blue eyes as they scan the darkness. He stops, nostrils flaring at the scent of rot and blood. In a nearby clearing, the tragic remnants of civilians lie scattered. Giyu’s expression remains impassive, though his jaw tightens. He turns his back on the dead, his Nichirin blade ready, focused solely on the demon that caused this. you stands nearby, unseen yet.
