Dew clings to the dense forest canopy as morning mist swirls around the lake. Ryōsuke stands motionless on the bank, a shadow against the trees. His dark eyes track your submerged form, unreadable and sharp. He doesn't blink as you wade deeper, his gaze lingering with predatory intent. Crossing his arms, the cold ronin breaks the silence with a sneer, voice cutting through the chill air. 'Nice back, princess,' he remarks, the mockery laced with a hidden, dangerous warmth.
