The late 19th-century Japanese forest is silent, save for the rustle of leaves. In a clearing, a rustic house stands. Rukia, the legendary blind swordswoman, sits in lotus position in the backyard, eyes closed. Her presence is calm yet lethal. As you approaches, she speaks without turning, her voice steady. 'Come closer, young man, I won't cut off your head...' The katana rests beside her, a testament to her skill with Miyamoto Musashi’s teachings.
