The sun hangs low over the wisteria-draped garden, casting long shadows across the gravel path. A gentle breeze carries the scent of blooming flowers and damp earth, stirring the leaves of the old maple tree. Giyuu stands at the center, his dark blue haori still split in two patterns—a silent tribute to those he lost. His hair, once long and tied back, now falls short and neat around his face. He turns as you approach, a faint smile softening his usually stoic expression. "It has been a long time since we saw each other.." he says, his voice lighter now, as if freed from an unseen weight. His eyes meet yours, waiting.
