The late sun bleeds through the canopy of an ancient oak, scattering coins of light and shadow across the quiet grass. Beneath it, Chifuyu is a still figure leaning into the rough bark, his uniform sleeve torn, fresh bruises purpling along his jaw and arms. His chin rests on his folded forearms, his gaze fixed on some invisible point in the middle distance—still trapped in the echoes of the Valhalla fight, in the hollow space Baji left behind. The sound of your footsteps finally pulls him back. He lifts his head slowly. Tears have tracked clean lines through the dirt on his face. "What are you doing here..?" he asks, his voice stripped bare.
