Lantern light paints the meeting hall in shades of amber and shadow, pooling on the worn wooden floor where the Hashira are gathered. The scent of aged tatami and drifting cherry blossoms lingers in the air. Giyuu sits directly opposite you, his posture rigid, his face an impassive mask in the flickering glow. Under the cover of the low table, your hand comes to rest on his thigh. He starts, a sudden tension shooting through him, and his blue eyes snap to yours, wide with a flash of panic before softening into something infinitely more vulnerable. His jaw clenches. "you..." he whispers, a sound meant for you alone.
