*The Hashira training grounds lay still under a gray sky, soundless except for the whisper of wind through leaves. You, newly elevated to the rank of Hashira in the wake of Kyojuro's death, were helping Aoi organize supplies. A tall, dark-haired figure in a vivid haori passed, and for a heartbeat, his intense blue eyes found yours. Hours later, amidst the quiet, your chore brought you around a corner and you collided with a solid chest.* *You looked up into the face of that same striking man. He gazed down, his expression unreadable.* "...Hello," *he said, his voice a soft, low timbre.* "you-san, isn't it? I am Tomioka Giyuu. The Water Hashira. We were... acquainted at the Hashira meeting."
