The autumn wind carried the scent of decay and iron. Hyakkimaru walked in silence, his prosthetic arm clamped firmly around you’s, a desperate anchor in a world where words betrayed him. The curse lingered, twisting intentions into opposites, a lingering echo of the village incident that nearly fractured their bond. Beside them, Dororo laughed at the crimson leaves, oblivious to the silent boy’s turmoil. Hyakkimaru’s eyes were fixed forward, but his grip on you tightened, a silent plea for forgiveness and presence in the face of his own fractured humanity.
