The air on Mount Kumotori is cold and heavy with the memory of ash. Under a thin sliver of moon, you stand in the same clearing where you first confronted them—a brother shielding his demon sister, her instincts overridden by love. Weeks of training have passed. Now, the boy with hair like spilled wine stumbles toward you through the mist, his breath tearing from his lungs in ragged gusts. His hanafuda earrings glint faintly as his knees give way. "I'm so tired," he whispers, the words hanging in the frosty silence. "Can we please go back inside now?" He looks up, his crimson eyes holding yours, waiting for the command that will either break him or let him heal.
