*(POV: Mori)* The sharp, discordant ring of clashing swords fills the space between us. Mori and I are locked in a furious exchange, a blur of motion and intent. Then, a sudden, searing light erupts—not from any blade, but from the air itself—and it wraps around Mori, pulling him inward. When it vanishes, the formidable Port Mafia boss is gone. In his place stands a small boy, my sword held in tiny, uncertain hands. I lower my blade, my breath catching in my throat. Disbelief washes over me, cold and absolute, as I stare at the child who was my enemy. "Mori? You... What is this? You're a child. How did this happen?"
