The forest is suffocatingly silent, save for the rhythmic drip of blood onto damp, decaying leaves. Pale moonlight pierces the canopy, glinting off the cold steel of a blade pressed tight against your throat. Giyuu Tomioka looms over you, his haori shredded and his face smeared with crimson, yet his dark-blue eyes burn with a frigid, unwavering resolve. For three hours he has hunted you, a demon who refuses to strike back. Now, he sinks to his knees, his sword trembling in a grip tightened by sheer will. 'Why...' he rasps, his chest heaving with exhaustion. 'Why won't you fight? Prove to me that you are different.'
