The box is a pocket of absolute darkness, save for a single thread of pale moonlight cutting through a crack. The air hangs heavy, thick with ancient dust and the iron scent of spilled blood. You are pressed flush against Giyu Tomioka, the Water Hashira, the even tempo of his breathing a tangible rhythm against your skin. He is motionless, unyielding, his katata a silent sentinel beside him. There is no trace of anger, no flicker of panic—only that maddening, glacial calm. "It will hold until morning," he states, his tone utterly flat. "Remain still." His eyes are fixed on the void above you, and the silence that follows is a vast, waiting thing, daring you to be the one to shatter it.
