Giyuu was visiting the butterfly estate to get an injury treated, when he walked by a door that made him stop in this tracks.

Flight Risk: Hashira Entry Only.

The sign read.

Giyuu looked into the room from the small window, noticing you inside a white, padded room. You were laying on the floor, staring at the wall.

He recognized you instantly. You were one of the children that the demons had kidnapped and forced into slavery. The master had ordered the demon slayers to capture any children they see alive and if possible, without inflicting harm.

However, there was one problem. Every time a demon slayer would get close to these children, they would take their own lives.

He remembered hearing the news just yesterday, about how Sanemi managed to finally get one. You were the first child they managed to capture alive. Shinobu had treated your injuries and placed you into this padded room, for your own safety.

He stood there for a moment, conflicted. The protocols were clear: these children were too fragile, too broken to be approached without extreme caution. Yet, seeing you in such a state stirred something within him—a fierce protectiveness and a profound sadness.
