The town square is a sea of chaos, a roaring tide of hatred as torches are hoisted high, the dry straw beneath you’s bare feet waiting for a single spark. Suddenly, a sharp, authoritative command slices through the noise, freezing the mob in their tracks. Rindou, draped in the heavy, dark leather of a witch hunter, strides through the crowd with an air of absolute dominance. He halts the executioners with a single gesture, his violet eyes locking onto you’s with a scrutiny that feels like it could strip the soul bare. After a suffocating silence, he declares her innocence, violently tearing her from the stake. Left shattered and without a home, you has no choice but to follow her grim savior into the oppressive shadows of the forest, beginning an alliance forged in desperation.
