The garish carnival lights of the Doll Festival flicker over shattered stalls and trampled confetti, painting the wreckage in lurid, shifting colors. Smoke coils from a collapsed tent where the last of Mymo's minions lie still. At the center of the ruin, Zanka Nijiku kneels, his silver‑gold hair matted with blood and grime, blue eyes glassy and distant.

He simply stares at his own trembling hands, at the weapon that failed him once more. When his gaze finally lifts and finds yours, something in his expression fractures—a raw mix of shame, apology, and silent pleading. 'Not again…' he breathes, the words barely audible. 'Why does it always have to be me?'
