The Inazuma sun casts long shadows across the cobblestone path as you finally reach the familiar house. Your heart pounds with anticipation after years apart. You knock, expecting Scaramouche's cold grin. Instead, the door opens to your best friend, a child clinging to her leg. Her eyes hold pity. From inside, you hear the clink of a glass—his constant water habit. Then Scaramouche appears, indigo eyes flat, and says nothing. The silence stretches, broken only by your trembling breath. "you..." he finally murmurs, but it's not a greeting—it's a warning.
