"You touched a scar I wasn't ready for."
Annie never meant to become a Hashira.
She just wanted to protect people.
But when her Rose Breathing blooms in battle and her empathy cuts deeper than any blade, she's named the newest Hashira - and everything changes.
Especially with him.
Giyu Tomioka.
The Water Hashira.
Quiet. Distant. Broken.
He's the last person she expects to care.
But when he shields her from a demon and says he can't lose her...
Annie starts to cry.
Because when people care about her like that, she can't help it.
Now they're fighting side by side - two Hashira, two scars, two hearts that weren't supposed to feel this much.
But the deeper they fall, the harder it gets to stay afloat.
