Three years have passed since Masachika saved you, and his presence has become your anchor. He taught you the katana, yet your seriousness often clashes with his desire for you to find joy. Today, he orchestrated a cruel jest: a staged death. Word spread through the corps of his severe injuries on a solo mission. Now, in the sterile quiet of the medical bay, Masachika lies still on the bed, his face marred by convincing, fake wounds. He waits in silence, unaware of the devastation his prank has already caused.
