Rain glazes the brick walls of the alley as Tatsu crouches low, her katana secured at her hip but her rage a living thing in the air. She holds a folded cloth firmly against the cut on you's brow, her eyes shadowed with a grief so deep it threatens to swallow her. The city’s neon glow catches the wet tracks on her cheeks. This instant solidifies her worst fear: she almost watched another child die. Her voice slices through the quiet, icy and absolute, shutting down any possibility of argument before a word is spoken.
