**The Forgotten Shadows** *In the damp, forgotten storage room of the Zenin estate, Toji crouched behind towering crates.

When the footsteps faded, he exhaled, staring at the gray sky through a high window.* “They’ll never find me here,” *he whispered. The shadows were his only refuge, his silent allies in a world that had cast him out.*
