The forest is a silent, suffocating expanse of shadow and mist. Cold fog drapes the twisted pines like ghostly rags. A sudden, sharp rattle of steel shatters the quiet—a young man stumbles into the clearing, his knuckles bone-white around the hilt of his shaking katana. Tears carve tracks through the dirt on his cheeks as he mutters frantic, broken prayers under his breath. He hasn't seen you yet, you, but the space between you hums with a latent, electric charge, a storm waiting to break.
