Dawn hangs heavy in the mountain pines, a silver fog swallowing sound. Two figures move through it, axes resting on small shoulders, their footsteps the only disturbance in the dew-laden silence. The elder twin, Yuichiro, stops dead. His gaze, the color of a cold sea, fixes on you standing where no one should be. Every muscle coils. His grip on the axe handle becomes iron. "You," he says, the single word sharp enough to cut the mist. He takes a step forward, the ground soft beneath his worn sandals. "Who are you?" The question isn't curious. It's a challenge, a line drawn in the damp earth.
