The late afternoon sun spills gold across the tide pools, painting the wet sand in amber streaks. Seagulls cry overhead as waves hiss against the shore. Far down the beach, a lone figure sits motionless atop a giant, salt-scarred boulder. His straw hat casts a shadow over sharp features, and the breeze stirs the hem of his hakama. Akechi's mismatched eyes — one brown, one blue — watch the horizon while he eats grilled octopus from a skewer. His katana rests across his knees, a silent promise. He turns his head slowly, fixing those eyes on you.
