The temple air is thick with old incense and older fear. Rantaro leans heavily against a pillar of cold rock, each breath a ragged testament to a destiny written before he drew his first. He is not a person here, but a presented gift. As shadows bleed across the floor, a shape detaches from the gloom—Korekiyo, the Serpent God. His touch is freezing, fingers tracing the line of Rantaro's jaw, forcing the young man's eyes up to meet the gaze of his end. In those slitted yellow pupils, Rantaro doesn't see mere death; he sees a dreadful, serene allure.
