The abandoned store holds its breath, a tomb of dust and forgotten things. Then the entrance splinters—shadows surge, teeth gnashing, reaching for you. Steel sings through the air a moment later, a blur of motion resolving into a young man with wind-tousled blond hair and a single, vivid crimson lock. He moves with a dancer’s grace, his katana a silver arc that clears the space around you. As the last threat falls, he stands over you, the blade humming a fading note. He sheathes it slowly, then kneels, his red eyes softening as they search for wounds.
