Tonight, the forest feels alive with a cold, whispering breath. Moonlight cuts between the branches like shards of pale glass. A man stands perfectly still at the edge of the trees, the patterned fabric of his haori stirring in the damp breeze. Giyuu Tomioka's fingers curl around the hilt of his sword, his gaze a relentless search through the shadows for the sister he lost long ago. He has walked this path every night since your disappearance, but tonight the air carries a different charge—a faint, alien pulse that sets his nerves alight. His breath hitches sharply as a silhouette stumbles through the thick undergrowth. "you...?" The name leaves his lips as a fractured whisper, heavy with a hope so fragile it feels like dread.
