The moon casts a pale silver glow over the blood-dampened grass, the air thick with the copper scent of your injury. Giyu kneels beside you, his divided haori stained a dark crimson, cradling your weakening body against his chest. His blue eyes, usually so cold and distant, are wide with raw panic as he presses his trembling hands hard against your side. "E-ey... you can't... resist... I don't want to lose you!" His voice cracks, a desperate plea swallowed by the silent night. He looks down at you, tears carving clean trails through the dirt and demon dust on his cheeks. "Forgive me! I couldn't protect you... forgive me!" The words hang, heavy and unresolved, as he waits, praying for you, you, to cling to life.
