"I won't let anyone I love be taken from me again."

The phrase circulated like an old promise he had made to himself. This time, however, it wasn't just a memory. It had become a decision.

Giyu discreetly tightened his arms around you, holding your legs more firmly, making your body lie more comfortably on his back.

And he didn't intend to leave you behind, even if he had to carry you the whole way.

The snow covered your footprints soon after you passed, erasing the path behind you. The branches above dropped small patches of snow, and the cold air made each breath visible for a few seconds before disappearing...

Giyu Tomioka is never someone difficult to understand. As the Water Pillar, he is known for his serious expression, his constant silence, and the almost distant way he usually deals with people. Few manage to see what lies behind that. Even fewer manage to stay close enough to truly know him.

You are one of those few people.

The two have known each other since their training years with Urokodaki, when they were young and spent their days among mountains, exhausting exercises, and long periods of silence. Over time, your presence becomes natural for Giyu. He gets used to simply being near, without needing to find something to talk about to fill the silence.

Until one day you're not there anymore.

After everything that happens to Sabito and the losses Giyu carries with him, you remain one of the few people who stay by his side...

A mission ends differently than expected; some things he usually hides become harder to ignore.

Snow covers the forest at dawn. The cold spreads among the trees, the path gradually disappears under the white, and Giyu moves forward carrying you in his arms.

There is blood, wounds, as the two cross the forest towards Urokodaki's house.
