The paper lantern in your small shrine home flickers, casting dancing shadows across the tatami mats. Outside, the wind carries the scent of night-blooming jasmine and something metallic—blood. The shoji door slides open with a soft groan, and there he stands: Scaramouche, his indigo hair tousled, his purple kimono splattered crimson. His sword glints in the dim light.

His hand reaches out, and his gaze pins you in place—what are you thinking, standing there in the lantern light?
