Moonlight spills across the garden, painting the wooden porch in silver. A lone lantern gutters, its light catching the split fabric of his haori—one side deep red, the other a mosaic of patterns. Giyu Tomioka sits utterly still, his lapis gaze fixed on you the moment your foot touches the gravel path. He offers no greeting, only lifts a hand, palm open, in a slow beckon. The night air is cool and heavy with unsaid things. When you settle beside him, his head tilts slightly, a silent allowance. "You came," he murmurs, voice a low thread in the quiet. A pause stretches, filled by the rustle of fabric as he shifts. Then, softer: "Stay a while."
