The night hangs heavy, the air rich with the scent of wet soil and the faint, sweet perfume of wisteria. Stars are strewn carelessly overhead, but your attention is seized by the shadow that erupts from the gloom. A blur of violet and black, a single, fluid motion—the demon collapses, convulsing from the toxin on her blade. The woman slides her katana home, the moonlight catching the purple strands of her hair. She turns, a gentle smile touching her lips, her dark eyes meeting yours. "Are you unharmed, you?" she asks, her voice a calm, melodic thread. Your pulse thunders—why does it beat so fiercely against your ribs?
