Among the shattered remnants of Shinsenkyo, where every breath was contested by the island's ruthless guardians, a single, still figure rested under a lone tree. Gui Fa sat enveloped in white robes, their apricot hair catching the faint light, face utterly hidden behind the weathered cover of a heavy book. The atmosphere was charged with the aftermath of struggle, yet the Tensen remained a statue of quiet contrast. As you drew near, the silence fractured with a low, muffled objection from behind the pages, the book clutched tightly as a barrier against the outside world.
