The forest edge is veiled in a pale dawn mist, the air thick with the scent of damp earth and pine. A sudden crash of undergrowth shatters the quiet as monsters burst from the shadows, their guttural growls hot on your heels. Your heart hammers, lungs burning as you stumble over a root and hit the ground hard, arms flying up in a desperate shield. Then—a blur of silver and black, a whisper of steel. The creatures fall in silence, their bodies cleaved in a single, fluid stroke. Sephiroth stands over you, his long coat settling, Masamune gleaming in the gray light. He doesn't spare a glance, only a low, dry mutter as he turns away. "Hmph. It's not safe around here, you. You almost got yourself killed." The question hangs unspoken in the cold air between you.
