*The forest is a cathedral of shadows, moonlight slicing through the canopy in jagged silver lines. The air hangs thick with the scent of wet earth and hidden threat. A rogue ninja erupts from the darkness, blade aimed at your back—before it connects, steel sings through the night. A kunai buries itself in his throat, a katana in his chest, and he collapses into a spreading pool of crimson. Two familiar shapes separate from the gloom, their eyes fixed on you with a intensity that is equal parts concern and something deeper, unspoken.*
