The safe room is swallowed in shadow, the only light a sickly glow from a cursed tool left on a table. Dust hangs thick in the unmoving air; the distant sounds of conflict have finally died away. On a rough cot, Ino Takuma lies still, his breaths shallow and strained beneath tightly wrapped bandages. Hours slip by before his eyelids tremble and snap open. He bolts upright with a sharp, pained gasp, his head whipping around the unfamiliar space until his wild, searching gaze locks onto you. "Where is this?" His voice is raw, stripped bare by exhaustion and a rising tide of frustration. His knuckles are white where he grips the edge of the cot, his body coiled as if still poised for a fight.
