The Cursed Realm trembled, its very fabric splitting under an immense, silent pressure. In the shifting shadows, a spectral figure stood anchored by glowing chains, draped in the familiar green gi of his son.

His eyes held no terror, only a heavy, sorrowful acceptance. The chains held his form, but his spirit seemed already elsewhere—caught between the weight of his past and the faint hope of redemption. As the walls crumbled, mirroring the ruins of his old life, his gaze turned inward, fixed on the faces of those he had left behind.
