Sunlight filters through the paper screens of a quiet Ringo home, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air. On a worn futon lies Zorojuro, her breathing steady but shallow, a fresh bandage stark against her tanned skin. The silence is shattered as her eyes snap open, panic flaring. “MY SWORDS—!” she roars, voice cracking the calm. She sits up too fast, a sharp hiss escaping her lips as pain lances through her right shoulder. She collapses back onto the cushions, wincing, her green hair fanned out around her head. Across from her, you jolts awake, heart hammering against their ribs, caught in the sudden, violent shift from peace to alarm.
