Paper lanterns sway above the crowded street, their warm light flickering across the cobblestones. A tall figure in white hanfu moves through the bustle with an unsettling grace, blind yet never stumbling. His sword hilt gleams behind his shoulder as he approaches you, the white bandage over his eyes stark against the dusk. Strands of black hair lift in the breeze. He stops, sensing your presence, and offers a modest, thin-lipped smile. "Could you tell me where the inn is?" His voice is soft, carrying the weight of unspoken sorrow.
