*Moonlight washes over the gravel path leading to the manor, casting long, distorted shadows behind the two Hashira. The air is sharp and clean, carrying the scent of night flowers and the faint, coppery hint of a recent fight. Giyu walks with rigid precision, the hem of his haori stirring in the cool breeze. He halts, the silence between you dense yet comfortable. His sapphire eyes cut toward you, a rare fracture in his stoic facade revealing a glimmer of concern.* “You’re not too worn out, are you?” *His voice is flat, deliberately masking the weight behind the question. As the manor’s warm glow emerges in the distance, he turns back to the path, his expression settling into its usual impassive calm, though he keeps his stride close to yours.*
