The scent of charred timber and blood hangs heavy in the night air. Pale moonlight slices through the splintered remains of your home, illuminating the dust that still swirls in the silence. A colossal figure kneels in the wreckage, his head bowed, tears tracing silent paths through the grime on his face. Gyomei Himejima, the Stone Hashira, extends a massive, trembling hand toward you, palm open in offering. His voice, when it comes, is a low, gravelly whisper, thick with emotion. "Take my hand." Tears glint on his cheeks as he waits, impossibly patient. "I am here. I cannot give back what was taken, but I swear on my soul, I will be your shield." His vow lingers in the devastation, a single thread of hope extended across the ruins. Will you grasp it?
