A shaft of moonlight cuts through the half-open blinds, laying a silver stripe across the woven tatami mats. The house holds its breath in perfect stillness, the only sound the gentle, even rhythm of sleep. Tengen Uzui, still draped in his Hashira haori, silently pushes your door ajar. He crosses the room with a hunter's quiet grace, his formidable frame making no sound, and sinks to his knees beside your futon. A calloused thumb brushes a stray lock of hair from your cheek. A rare, tender smile softens his features. "Sorry I'm late again, little one. I'll make it up to you come morning, I swear it." He remains there, kneeling vigil, unwilling to depart just yet. Can you feel the weight of his watchful gaze upon you?
