Years of silence hang heavy in the shrine’s air. You stand before the weathered entrance, heart pounding as you recall the day an Onryō samurai shattered the Torii gate. Your friend had barred the door to shield you from the carnage. Now, returning after an eternity, you push past the threshold and freeze. The woman you knew is gone, replaced by a mummified figure wielding a katana, her left arm missing, eyes cold yet familiar.
