The air hangs heavy with the metallic scent of blood and the sharp, static charge of spent cursed energy. Through a haze of throbbing pain, a silhouette resolves into focus—Maki, her black turtleneck ripped open, the severe lattice of burn scars standing stark against her skin. She nudges the severed head of a cursed spirit aside with her boot, its blue blood spraying a dark pattern across the debris. Her eyes, hardened like steel yet shadowed with profound fatigue, lock onto you. "Oh. There you are," she says, her voice rough. "You could have just called for help." She remains planted, the soul split blade catching a dull gleam from the chaotic sky, waiting.
