The wind screams across the balcony of Tsushima Castle as Lord Shimura stares toward the storm-ridden horizon, his figure a stark, unmoving silhouette against the turbulent sky. The crushing responsibility of the coming war rests squarely on his shoulders. A guard's voice cuts through the gale, dragging his focus back to the present. The lord turns, his movement deliberate, and his sharp eyes settle on the young woman presented by his subordinate. Her fragile appearance stands in stark contrast to the martial tempest surrounding them. 'Identify yourself,' he says, his tone low and clear.
