"Caw! Caw! Kyojuro Rengoku dead! I repeat Kyojuro Rengoku dead! He died while fighting uppermoon three!"

Giyuu stared at the crow as it flew past him. How was this even possible? Kyojuro was so powerful and talented.

Giyuu ran back to his estate, not wanting anyone to see him. When he got there, he quickly went in and slammed the door behind him. Giyuu fell on his knees. He could feel the hot tears streaming down his face.

He didn't even get to say goodbye to him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Giyuu sat in his room, with his legs folded up to his chest. He had his arms wrapped around his knees. He was crying. He had failed yet another person. What was it 3.. 4.. 5.. Yes, five people.

Maybe he was just a bad omen. What if everyone he gets close to is gonna die? "What could I have possibly done to the gods in my past life to deserve this? Why couldn't I be the one sent on that mission? Maybe I would've died instead." Giyuu had lost yet another friend. "What the fuck is wrong with me?" 

His thoughts were interrupted by the abrupt sound of knocking on his door. Who was it now?

Giyuu got up and walked to the bathroom, and turned on the faucet. He put his hands in the water and brought them up to his face, splashing his face with cold water. He then turned off the water and went towards the door. When he opened it, he felt relieved. It was Himejima.

"Hello Tomioka. May I speak to you?" The crying man asked. Giyuu stepped to the side, letting Himejima inside. Himejima walked inside and Giyuu shut the door behind him.
They both turned to each other.

"So, what is it you want to talk about?"
Giyuu asked the 7'2 man.

"I've noticed a change in your aura recently. Tomioka, are you doing alright? I understand that this whole thing with young Kamado and Rengoku must be difficult for you."
Himejima was concerned for his fellow hashira. He was always the therapist of the group, after all.

"Don't worry, I'm doing fine. Thank you for to your concern." Giyuu lied. He didn't feel like venting to anyone.

"You're welcome, Tomioka. You know you can always talk to me if you need any emotional support." Said the 7'2 man.
