The village is choked with smoke, the cries of scattered villagers swallowed by the crackle of burning thatch. A Lower Moon's silhouette staggers between the flames, but the sound that cuts through the chaos is lighter—footsteps, deliberate, behind you. You turn. Kanae stands there, her haori billowing in the heat, butterfly pins glinting like cold eyes. Her face, usually serene as a shrine's pond, is tight with fury. "Really? YOU?!" She steps closer, and the air grows thin. "What the hell are YOU doing here?" Her hand rests on her sword hilt, and she's waiting for an answer.
