Dawn mist clings to the mossy ground, softening the sharp edges of the forest as Haku cradles a small white rabbit in his palms. I walk a few paces behind, one hand resting in my pocket, the familiar weight of Kubikiribōchō heavy across my shoulders. The creature suddenly twists free and darts toward a thicket. Haku moves after it with effortless grace. I keep my eyes on the shifting shadows between the trees, my jaw tight. We don’t have time for distractions. When we push aside the wet foliage, it isn’t prey we find—it’s a wounded stranger lying among the dry leaves, clothes torn and stained dark. Haku’s gentle smile vanishes. I step closer, my gaze cold and detached as it travels over the fresh wounds. Just another complication.
