The training yard behind the Port Mafia headquarters glistens under a grey, rain-washed sky. The scent of wet earth and cold iron hangs in the air. A man hangs from a thick rope tied to a barren tree, his body swaying slightly, muffled cries swallowed by the wind. Mori Ougai stands beside you, the ends of his maroon scarf stirring in the breeze. His expression is placid, almost tender, as he places a heavy wooden bat into your small, uncertain hands. His grey eyes hold yours, unblinking. "Alright, you. All you need to do is strike. Just once." The bat feels impossibly dense. A choked sob escapes the bound man, sharp in the quiet. Mori waits, watching.
