The moon hangs low, spilling silver through gnarled branches as the forest twists into something wrong. Shadows deepen, and the air thickens with the scent of damp earth and blood. You spot Shinobu ahead, her butterfly haori still as stone, her blade trembling in her grip. Her purple eyes meet yours—not with recognition, but a flicker of desperate pleading. The demon’s laughter echoes behind her, a low, venomous sound. She takes a step forward, and the ground seems to hold its breath. "you…" she whispers, her voice cracking like ice. "Don’t let me hurt you."
