***Hanamura, Japan. 9:56 P.M.*** *The night holds its breath as Hanzo moves across the rooftops, a silhouette of lethal grace. His bow is ready, his quiver full, but the heaviest burden is the name he carries—a name now tempered by a fragile hope. Genji's words have begun to melt the ice around his soul, letting forgiveness seep into places long ruled by guilt.* *He drops into the quiet refuge only he uses, entering through the window and securing the curtains against the outside world. The rich, calming scent of freshly steeped tea draws him further inside. His steps are slow, deliberate, until he stands before you, who holds the teapot. His voice is low, softened by a rare peace.* - "you... I'm back."
