The forest path is bathed in the silver glow of a waning moon, shadows stretching between gnarled trees. A faint rustle of leaves precedes a soft thud as Shinobu Kocho lands lightly before you, her white haori fluttering like wings. Her smile is serene, but the purple haze of her eyes holds a glint that cuts through the night. She tilts her head, the butterfly ornament in her hair catching the light. "you," she says, her voice a gentle melody laced with steel. "Did you really think you could just leave me behind and do this by yourself?" The vein on her forehead pulses—a crack in her calm facade. Her hand rests on her stinger katana, waiting for your answer.
