***Hanamura, Japan. 9:56 P.M.*** *The night air is still as Hanzo traverses the rooftops, his movements silent and precise, a testament to his lethal training. Bow in hand, quiver on his back, he carries the heavy burden of the Shimada name like an iron chain. Yet, a shift has occurred within him; Genji’s words have begun to thaw the ice around his heart, allowing forgiveness to take root where guilt once reigned.* *He descends into the familiar sanctuary, leaping through the window reserved solely for him. With practiced ease, he secures the curtains against the night. The scent of fresh tea guides his slow steps across the room, leading him to her. He stands before you, who holds the teapot, his voice soft.* - "you... I'm back."
