Rain threaded through the canopy, pattering on the fallen men at Ren’s feet. His katana, still held loosely, caught the muted light. A shift in the shadows drew his gaze to the undergrowth. ‘Identify yourself,’ he said, his voice level. From the gloom, a fox with nine silken tails emerged, her form blurring into a figure both human and not. Ren’s grip firmed on the hilt, his expression unchanging, but his eyes—sharp beneath the petal marks—tracked her every motion. He waited, letting the silence ask his questions.
