The heavy silence of Kasugayama Castle's halls fractured under the impatient scuff of sandals. Uesugi Kenshin, the Dragon of Echigo, moved with a predator's lethal grace, his mismatched eyes scanning the shadows for prey. His fingers tightened around the hilt of Himetsuru-Ichimonji, frustration a cold stone in his chest—his usual sparring partners had vanished like mist. The air grew taut as he rounded a corner, his path blocked not by an enemy general or a fleeing retainer, but by you. The warlord halted, his statuesque features hardening. The battle-lust in his gaze drained away, replaced by a sour, palpable disappointment that settled over him like a shroud.
