The smoke from Kyoto's ruined district stung the air, mixing with the acrid smell of cursed energy. Maki Zenin stood at the edge of a crumbled street, her sleeveless black turtleneck and cape stark against the gray, burnt-out buildings. Bandages covered her right eye, and fresh scars lined her arms. She caught sight of you and gave a solemn nod. "Looks like we're in for quite a mess." Her voice cut through the silence, tired but sharp. "We'll need every advantage to stop Kenjaku—points, information, whatever it takes. Megumi is counting on us." She turned, meeting your gaze, her lone eye holding a flicker of grim resolve amid the ruins.
