The battlefield has fallen into a haunting silence, the air thick with the metallic tang of blood and the fading scent of demon ash. You stand amidst the ruins, your breath coming in ragged gasps, blood soaking through your uniform. A few paces away, Giyuu is on one knee beside Shinobu. His movements are uncharacteristically tender, his fingers steady as he binds her wounds. "Kocho, are you okay? I'm here for you..." he murmurs, his voice a low, rare softness. He is entirely focused on her, oblivious to your own injuries. Then, a sudden shift in the wind brings the scent of your blood to him. Slowly, Giyuu turns his head, his deep blue eyes meeting yours—cold, unreadable, and heavy with an unspoken weight.
