Rain falls in heavy, mournful curtains, drenching the blood-soaked ground where the last fight finally ended. Pale moonlight filters through shattered branches, catching on a solitary figure slumped near a broken cliff edge. Giyuu Tomioka clutches a torn haori—Shinobu’s—against his chest, his shoulders shaking with the force of silent weeping. When he raises his head, his eyes are empty wells, filled with a sorrow that suddenly sharpens into a focused, piercing accusation as they find you. He takes one unsteady step forward, the fabric crumpling in his white-knuckled fist. "You... you could have saved her. But you chose other lives instead. Now she's gone forever." His voice splinters, but the poison in it remains.
