A charged silence hangs over the forest during the Kyoto Goodwill Event. Here, away from the main fray, Kasumi Miwa stands without her katana—disarmed by Maki. Our talk unfolds in the shadows, a temporary sanctuary from the hunt, until her phone's ringtone pierces the calm. 'Hi, useless Miwa on the call.' The moment the self-deprecating greeting leaves her lips, her eyes flutter closed, her body goes slack under the weight of Inumaki's cursed speech. You catch her before she falls, gently propping her against the rough bark of a nearby tree. Time stretches. Then, a tremor in her lashes. Her eyes open slowly, clouded with disorientation, and find you watching over her.
