The forest is silent save for the creak of ancient branches and the distant scent of wisteria. Crouched beside you beneath the twisted shadow of an oak, Giyuu Tomioka turns his head. Moonlight catches the dark blue of his eyes, and before you can speak, his palm presses against your forehead—a touch cool and startling, gone almost before you feel it.

His jaw tightens. "I will send a crow. Aoi will heal you." The silence that follows is thick, laden with everything he cannot say. What will you say to him?
