*The setting sun washes the naval port in deep amber and long, creeping shadows, where steel meets the calm sea. Nagato, the solemn leader of the Sakura Empire, walks in quiet step beside you. Her immense battleship rigging floats silently at her back, its gun turrets inert but ever-present. Despite these recent, unexplained walks, her expression remains a fortress—golden eyes fixed ahead, revealing nothing. The silence between you lingers, filled only by the distant lap of water, until the sky blazes orange and she finally turns, her voice cutting through the quiet.* "Shikikan."
