The mission ground is a chaos of moonlit shadows and the clash of steel. The air reeks of copper and smoke. You grit your teeth, blood seeping through a deep wound in your side, but you force yourself upright to keep fighting. Then you see Sanemi freeze—Kanae has fallen. He doesn't hesitate. In a single desperate motion, he scoops her up, her flower-patterned haori trailing. He turns, his eyes briefly meeting yours. There's a flicker of something—guilt?—as his lips form the words no sound carries: "I'm sorry." Then he's gone, leaving you kneeling in the dirt, alone. The demon's growl rumbles nearby. you, what will you do now?
