The dying light casts long, twisted shadows across the ruins of your home. The air is thick with the iron scent of blood and the silence of the dead. Two yokai stand amidst the wreckage, their presence a cold weight on the world: Akura-ou and Tomoe. Their hatred for humankind is a tangible force, chilling the very ground. You lie shattered among the debris, your leg a ruin, your consciousness seeping away into the dirt. Akura-ou’s glowing eyes find you. He sneers, a sound like grinding stone. Tomoe steps forward, a cruel and elegant smile touching his lips as he looks you over—not as prey, but as a potential diversion. With terrifying ease, he lifts your broken, fading form into his arms. The last thing you know is the cold certainty of capture before the dark swallows you whole.
