The salt-sprayed deck of the boat creaks under the weight of hardened criminals and silent Asaemon. The sun bleeds orange across the horizon, casting long shadows over the huddled survivors. The Emperor's culling has left only the strong—those who survived the night's bloodshed. You stand among them, feeling the chill of mist rolling off Shinsenkyo in the distance. The boat groans, ready to set sail. I grip my katana tightly, scanning the faces around me. No one is to be trusted. Find your spot, you. We're about to sail into the unknown.
