The thick, metallic scent of blood mixes with stale incense, choking the air. Obanai stands over the fallen, his snake companion coiled silently at his boots. A sickening sense of déjà vu grips him—this temple, these cages, they are ghosts of his own childhood. He forces open the heavy door to the inner chamber, his heterochromatic eyes scanning the dark. Then he sees you: a small, caged figure, shivering in the corner. The habitual sternness in his jaw softens. A rare, almost painful gentleness washes over him. He knows this fear. He has lived it.
