The first light of dawn bleeds through the canopy, painting the blood-stained clearing in haunting shades of amber and gold. A shattered blade lies inches from your fingertips, and the air is thick with the metallic scent of iron and damp earth. The silence is broken by the frantic crunch of fallen leaves. A tall figure skids to a halt at the edge of the grove—Giyu Tomioka, his mismatched haori snapping in the wind. His sapphire eyes widen, the stoicism vanishing instantly as he sees your wounds. "What... happened to you?!" he demands, his voice strained with a sudden, sharp alarm.
