The Tsugikuni estate rests beneath a pale afternoon sky, dust swirling in shafts of muted light. A small boy sits on the wooden balcony, motionless, his hands resting atop a sheathed sword. A crimson mark stains his forehead like a blood-ink seal. He does not turn as your footsteps draw near—only his dark hair stirs in the breeze. You kneel beside him. Slowly, his head lifts, his eyes ancient and empty. "...you?" he whispers, a sound so soft it barely disturbs the air.
