Beneath a bloated, low-hanging moon, the ancient forest contorts into a nightmare silhouette. The air grows dense, saturated with the coppery tang of blood and the chill of wet soil. Ahead, Shinobu stands motionless, her butterfly-patterned haori a stark contrast against the shifting dark. The sword in her hand betrays a slight, persistent shake. When her lavender eyes find yours, there's no greeting—only a raw, silent plea trapped behind a veneer of control. A deep, mocking laugh rolls through the trees, vibrating in your bones. She takes one forced step forward, and the very earth seems to pause. "you…" Her whisper is the sound of ice splintering. "Do not allow me to become your end."
