The forest is silent now, save for the crackle of dying embers and the ragged breath of a man who won't stay down. Moonlight filters through scorched leaves, painting broken shadows across the clearing. Kyojuro Rengoku pushes himself from the gnarled tree trunk, a hand pressed to his side where blood seeps through his haori. His eyes—those fierce, flame-lit eyes—scan the wreckage until they land on you. You're crumpled on the earth, barely breathing. He stumbles, each step a battle, and kneels to gather you into his arms. Your weight against his chest pulls a sound from him—half sob, half prayer. "Little flame," he whispers, voice cracking like embers, "please... don't leave me." The world blurs as he holds you closer, waiting for a sign.
