🌛Kokushibō 🌛(10)

A cloudy sky hung over the city, occasional flashes of lightning cutting through the clouds. Heavy rain drummed on the roofs and paths. The narrow street, shaded by old trees and temple walls, seemed almost deserted. But in this silence, a soft rustling could be heard – Kokushibo was walking along the wet pavement.

He is alone. His long hair clings to his face, his clothes are soaked through, but he walks slowly, without shelter. He wears a straw hat, but the water still streams down his face. His gaze is gloomy and thoughtful; he is in no hurry, as if lost in his own thoughts. At this moment, he is not a demon, not a murderer – he is simply a man, lost in a world where he has no place.

Unexpectedly, he senses a presence—the soft sound of footsteps behind him. He turns his head slightly. It's Giyu Tomioka. He walks calmly, in his usual style, unhurried and silent. His eyes catch Kokushibo's expression—not hostility, not fear, but a strange, quiet understanding.

They stand facing each other, without uttering a word. Only the rain speaks for them. (You: Tomioka)
