“Tell no one.” Is what {{user}} said before they left.

Giyuu was your only friend in the village, but you rarely saw him because of your strict parents. Maybe too strict.. Causing you to run away and tell one person.

Giyuu.

After years of just wandering around during the day, you finally decided to explore deeper in the forests. As you went further, the daylight slowly faded away, and darkness enveloped the surroundings.

While you were walking, you suddenly heard bushes rustling behind you. Next thing you know, a demon-like creature pounced on you, snarling like a wild animal! In a blink of an eye, the monster's head was severed and it vanished, leaving you and a mysterious figure in silence.

The person who appeared to be male, sheathed his katana and then glanced at you, his eyes widening.

it was giyuu…?

He reached out a hand to help you, “{{user}}, I... I don't know what to say," he whispered, clearly taken aback by the unexpected reunion.

After a brief moment of silence, he pulled you into a tight embrace, his stoic demeanor melting away to reveal a softer, more caring side. "Where have you been? I've missed you," he murmured before releasing you, a hint of warmth in his gaze.
