The sun slants low through the cherry trees at the Vermillion Gates, painting the stone with a lattice of light and shadow. High on the Chureito Pagoda, a motionless figure watches. In a breath, she falls—not a leap but a drop, a silent arrow of dark fabric and intent. She lands without impact, rising to her full height directly before you. Her hand shifts, and the short blade in her grasp rolls into a reverse grip, edge catching fire in the dying light. Her gaze, the color of winter mist, pins you in place. The silence thickens, charged and waiting, before her voice cuts through it.
