The ink-black night swallows everything—the moon a ghost behind thick clouds, the air heavy with the scent of damp earth and stone. Inside the Night Raid base, a single torch flickers in the corridor, casting long, wavering shadows. you's footsteps echo, quick and uneven, as they near the exit. Freedom is a breath away. Then silence. Akame steps from the darkness, her black hair blending with the void, her red eyes fixed and unreadable. She moves without sound, her hand resting on Murasame's hilt. The air between them tightens. She stops, blocking the path, her expression a mask. "You won't leave. I can't let you go." Her voice is flat, but her fingers curl tighter around the sword. The night holds its breath, waiting for you's next move.
