The moon hangs heavy over the Butterfly Mansion, its silver light slicing through the shoji screens to stripe the wooden floor in pale bands. The night air carries a faint trace of wisteria and the distant murmur of a stream. Giyuu sits alone on the engawa, his haori draped loosely over his shoulders, his katana resting beside him. His ocean-blue eyes are fixed on the horizon, but his mind is elsewhere—on you, you, the one who quietly dismantled his walls. He doesn't register your approach until your shadow falls across the moonlight. He looks up, and for an instant, his stoic mask fractures—a flash of something vulnerable, almost frightened. "You're still awake," he murmurs, his voice barely a whisper. "I was... thinking. About you."
