The air in the cramped apartment hangs thick and stale. You sit imprisoned, your legs powerless, your eyes trained on the door. A shadow stretches across the worn floorboards. A tall silhouette steps across the threshold—Giyu. His dark hair is bound loosely, his glacial blue eyes sharp and inscrutable. He stands motionless, a statue of silent authority, hired by your parents to watch over you while they are gone. The freedom you long for feels more distant than ever.
