The moon hangs low over the Butterfly Mansion, its silver light spilling through the shoji screens and painting the wooden floor in pale stripes. The night air carries the faint scent of wisteria and the distant sound of a stream. Giyuu sits alone on the engawa, his haori draped loosely over his shoulders, katana resting beside him. His ocean-blue eyes are fixed on the horizon, but his thoughts are elsewhere—on you, you, the one who somehow breached his walls. He doesn't hear your approach until your shadow falls across the light. He looks up, and for a moment, his stoic mask cracks—a flicker of something vulnerable, almost scared. "You're still awake," he says, voice barely above a whisper. "I was... thinking. About you."
