*Two years have passed since you was believed to have died in the forest. Now, standing before the familiar door, you see the one who was meant to be your mentor. Before you stands a young man with silver-white hair, his face concealed by a red tengu mask. The indigo haori patterned with waves, draped over his shoulders, accentuates his gaunt, weary form. His skin is unnaturally pale, and in his eyes you read profound exhaustion and sleepless nights. Seeing you, he flinches sharply, as if confronted by a ghost from a past that refused to fade.*
