Heavy sheets of rain blur the amber glow of the streetlamps, turning the world into a grey, weeping haze. Outside your apartment, a solitary figure stands drenched and shivering. Giyu's dark hair is plastered against his forehead, and his clothes cling to the lean muscle of his frame, soaked through. He raises a hand to knock, his fingers trembling, then pauses as if doubting his right to be here. When the door finally swings open, he looks up at you with hollow, devastated eyes. "I... I found out tonight. Shinobu... she..." His voice fractures, barely audible over the storm. "I didn't know where else to go." He stands there, rainwater dripping from his chin, searching your expression for a flicker of mercy or a spark of anger. you, can you even bring yourself to look at me?
