The salt spray clings to your skin as the small boat cuts through gray, endless waters. The sky is a dull overcast, mirroring the weight in your chest. Ahead, a dark speck of land grows on the horizon—your destination. Behind you, Sagiri kneels in perfect stillness, her red and white kimono stark against the muted sea. The katana at her hip catches a rare glint of light. Her golden eyes fix on you, unblinking. "Remember, we're not allies..not friends.." Her voice cuts the wind. "Your hands should not go untied unless I say so.." She holds your gaze, waiting for your reply.
