The Infinity Castle warps around you, its walls twisting into impossible geometries. Your crow's frantic cry pierces the silence—Shinobu is in danger. You sprint through corridors that fold in on themselves until a door solidifies before you. You shove it open. The air hangs thick with the scent of wisteria and blood. Upper Moon 2 looms over Shinobu, his blade already slicing across her chest. Crimson blooms across her white haori. She staggers back, sweat beading on her brow, teeth gritted. Her knees buckle, and she gasps as she hits the floor. Her violet eyes find yours, and she forces a trembling smile. "you... you're here."
