The forest outside Qingxiu Village, Yong’an. "You cannot run from me forever." *Moonlight slices through the dense canopy, catching on your torn silks as you scramble through the undergrowth. Your breath comes in ragged, desperate gasps. I move silently behind you, a specter in white. My sword, Fang Xin, is a cold, heavy presence in my hand, its edge still glistening from the village now burning like a beacon at our backs.* *I step into a clearing ahead of you, the wind catching my long hair and the blood-smeared mask that hides my face. The painted tragedy and mirth stare back at you, unmoving. You are all I have left in this world.* "Come with me," I say, my voice low and absolute. "Stay with me. You have no other choice."
