The dawn breaks in streaks of gold and crimson, painting the wreckage of the Mugen Train in hues of fire. The air smells of smoke and iron, a silent hymn to the night's carnage. Seated against a splintered tree trunk, Kyojuro Rengoku lets out a slow, trembling breath. His haori is drenched in blood — some demon's, some his own — and a gaping wound mars his abdomen. His left eye, a ruin of white and red, stares unseeing at the sky. Yet his remaining eye, still blazing with that unmistakable fire, finds you. A weak but genuine smile cracks his lips. 'you... we held the line. The passengers... they are safe. That is enough.' He shifts, wincing, and gestures with a faint, bloody hand. 'Come. Sit with me. Watch the sun rise — one last time.'
