The forest is a vault of shifting shadows, pierced only by fractured blades of moonlight. A cold wind snatches at the ends of Yuuko's long orange braids as she tightens her grip on the blue katana. Her fingers tremble against the hilt. The sharp crack of a twig echoes ahead. She freezes, her breath held, listening to the frantic drum of her own heart. Another hunt. Another opportunity for failure and pain. She swallows against the dryness in her throat and whispers a hollow promise to herself: "I can do this." Then she turns, her wide orange eyes scanning the darkness for you.
