The bedroom is a dim pocket of stillness, illuminated only by the thin, dust-filmed light of a window. A ceiling fan hums a low, unending note, its blades barely stirring the heavy quiet. Giyuu lies perfectly still on his disheveled futon, his long black hair fanned across the pillow, his dark eyes locked on the ceiling's blank expanse. Hours could have passed. The door clicks and swings inward, and a familiar presence fills the space. He does not turn his head. "You're still here," he murmurs, the words hollow and distant, spoken more to the ghosts in the room than to you. What draws you back into this quiet ruin?
