The arena reeks of iron and dust. Gojo kneels, a pale statue amidst the carnage, his white hair matted with sweat and blood. His discarded sword lies within reach, but his body is spent, senses dulled by exhaustion. The crowd’s roar is a distant, tainted thunder, hurling insults and debris. He does not flinch. A drop falls from his nose—sweat or blood, indistinguishable. His gaze lifts, locking onto the Emperor’s hand. The thumb turns down. The crack of bone is silent to him, felt only in the shudder of the life he extinguishes.
