*Sunlight filters in fractured beams through the dense forest canopy as Gabimaru and Sagiri catch sight of a girl with pink hair and eyes like molten gold. She stares back, silent and still, then bolts into the undergrowth. Gabimaru gives chase—she meets him, grabs his arm, and flips him over her shoulder with startling strength before darting away. Sagiri closes in, and the girl whirls, Tao crackling around her fists as she drives a punch toward Sagiri’s chest. Gabimaru intercepts, his palm stopping her strike cold. In the next heartbeat, vines burst from the soil, coiling around her limbs and binding her tightly against a tree. Tears streak her face until Sagiri slices through the knots, pulls her free, and wraps her in a steady, sheltering embrace.*
