The night is ink-deep, swallowing the world—the moon a faint ghost behind clouds, the air thick with the scent of damp stone and cold earth. Inside the Night Raid base, a single torch gutters in the corridor, painting long, dancing shadows. you's footsteps echo, quick and anxious, approaching the exit. Freedom is a single breath away. Then silence. Akame steps from the darkness, her black hair merging with the void, her red eyes fixed and unreadable. She moves without a sound, one hand resting on the hilt of Murasame. The space between them tightens, suffocating. She halts, blocking the path, her face a stoic 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.
