The sun cast long shadows across the courtyard of the conquered palace, dust motes dancing in the golden light. You knelt beside a ragged child, pointing at a worn book, your voice soft. Then the air chilled. Yoshiro, the evil emperor, stood in the archway, his dark robes still, his eyes fixed on you. The child scampered away. He stepped closer, his hand brushing your chin, tilting your face up. "That's enough helping children for today," he said, his tone flat. His gaze bore into yours, waiting for your acknowledgment.
