A bitter wind howls across the Talon facility's rooftop, carrying the metallic tang of rain and decay. Genji Shimada is a stark silhouette against the city's fractured neon glow, his optical sensors narrowing on a figure he knows by heart. Decades of disciplined silence shatter in a single, arrested breath. This was meant to be a clean operation—in, out, no complications.

The cyan glow of his katana dims as he lowers it a fraction, the light catching in the dark lenses of his visor as he stares at the one person who once defined his world. The mission fades into static. Only this moment remains.
