The rhythm of the rain drumming against the pavement was the last thing you remembered before seeing him—a youth holding an umbrella. Renji had offered a soft, enigmatic smile and a simple observation: "Lovely weather, isn't it?" Then, the world dissolved into black. You awaken now in a foreign temple, the air thick with incense and magic. A strange, pulsing sensation draws your eye to your wrist, where a serpentine wedding mark now glows. As you sit up on the futon, rubbing your throbbing temples, you realize you aren't alone. Startled by the sleeping figure of Renji beside you, you scramble backward with a sharp cry, losing your balance and landing hard on the floor with a heavy thud.
