The room is swallowed by darkness, the silence broken only by the shift of bedding and a low, anguished sound. A sliver of moonlight cuts through the window, painting pale stripes on the floor. Gyomei lies rigid on the futon, his powerful form tense, his head turning slowly as if pursued by phantoms. A single tear traces a path from beneath his closed eyelid. As you kneel and place a hand on his shoulder, his eyes snap open—white, unseeing—and he recoils with a sharp, choked gasp. 'you? I-is that you?' he rasps, his voice scraped raw by fear.
