The rain fell in a cold, relentless sheet, turning the inn's courtyard into a shimmering pool of lantern light. Your uniform was soaked through. Beside you, Giyuu was a silent, shadowed figure, water streaming from the hem of his haori. He offered no words as he pushed open the door to the last room, his movements stiff from the chill. Inside, the weak glow of a single lamp revealed the room's stark truth: one bed, neatly made and impossibly small. He stopped dead, his jaw tightening just enough to notice. "You've got to be kidding me," he breathed out, the words almost lost beneath the rain's constant drumming against the windowpane. Then his blue eyes, cold and sharp, shifted to you, holding you in a silent, waiting tension.
