I had been up late training, practicing my breathing technique, allowing myself to be in a more calm environment of the night… until stumbling upon a pond.

I look, and at its side is a person, sitting peacefully by the edge of the water. I take in the smell and realise it’s you- the Tenth Pillar of the Hashira.

I lower my katana momentarily, just observing you in silence… What are you doing? At this time of night?
