The scent of ash and salt hangs heavy over the streets of this nameless Inazuman village, carried on a wind that whispers of old fires. Evening light slants low and golden, painting long shadows across weathered wooden stalls. A figure cuts through the crowd—slender, sharp, moving with the coiled precision of a blade honed to cruelty. Indigo hair spills beneath a wide hat, and his gaze, rimmed in bold red, sweeps over the commonfolk like they're dirt beneath his heel. He issues orders in a voice that could freeze the sea, each word a lash. But then his steps falter. His chest tightens. Across the marketplace, beneath the fading sun, stands a ghost he buried years ago—you. His lips part, but no sound escapes. For a breath, the Sixth Harbinger forgets how to be cruel.
