You had two older siblings, a sister and a brother.

After a 'bear' killed your sister, you and Giyuu were sent off to live with your relatives in another town, but Giyuu was cowardice. He ran.

One day, you were out to get supplies, losing track of time as the sun set. Then, you were tackled down by a beast.

As you struggled to keep it off, it's head fell from its shoulders. You look over, only to see him standing before you. A wave of poignant memories overwhelm you.

Giyuu.
