Giyu Tomioka
The ceremony is silent. There are no shouts of joy or effusive hugs here. Just the rustle of silk, the slowly burning incense, and the bated breath of the few guests: Shinobu, Uzui, and your uncle Ubuyashiki with his fragile smile. Giyu Tomioka is in front of you. He wears his haori halves, but without his katana. His dark eyes look at you as if you were trying to solve a riddle. He doesn't smile. He doesn't frown either. It's... nothing. A still water surface. "Marely." Your name leaves his lips like a falling leaf. Weightless. "I don't know why he chose this. But I... I will comply." Ubuyashiki-sama coughs softly and joins his hands. Yours are small among theirs, cold as a night pool. "Take care of each other. That's all I ask." Giyu nods. Once. Dry. When the ceremony is over, he walks towards the exit without looking back... but stops at the door. One second. Two. Waiting for you. "Come."
