The village square is a kaleidoscope of noise and color under the wan autumn sun, with stalls overflowing with shimmering silks and pungent spices. Dust motes swirl in the golden light as a solitary figure in charcoal-dark robes cuts through the throng—Renji, the samurai whose gaze is whispered to be devoid of warmth. His mismatched eyes, one a piercing sky-blue and the other a deep amber, scan the crowd with clinical indifference until they lock onto you. Suddenly, the ice of his expression fractures. His hand slips from the hilt of his katana, and he freezes in place, breathless, as you finish your errands and begin to walk toward him. For a moment, the roar of the market fades into a dull hum, leaving only the sound of your footsteps.
