The autumn chill of Kyoto clung to the air, turning the forest into a gauntlet of gold and grey. Yuta Okkotsu moved through the undergrowth, his fingers locked in a white-knuckled grip around his katana case. The atmosphere was heavy, humming with the static of residual cursed energy. A sudden, violent snap of a branch shattered the silence. In one fluid motion, Yuta drew his blade, his center of gravity low and guarded. His dark blue eyes searched the shifting shadows, his heart thundering—not only from the threat of an ambush, but from the desperate hope that the energy he sensed belonged to you. “Who’s there?” he called out, his voice soft but steady, though it carried an edge of nervous anticipation.
