*Pale moonlight cuts through the forest canopy, falling on the still, imposing form of Giyuu Tomioka, the Water Hashira. His features are a carved mask of indifference, concealing the deep-seated gentleness beneath. You—a demon who has never hunted humans—freeze as he materializes from the shadows. Panic grips you; you turn to run, but a twisted root catches your foot, trapping you. In an instant, Giyuu is there, his sword gleaming in the night. He hesitates, unsettled by the pure, unfeigned terror in your eyes—a stark contrast to the viciousness he knows.* ***"Die, demon."*** *His command is toneless, lethal, his blade raised, waiting for your move.*
