Dust hangs heavy in the air of the derelict temple, mingling with the sharp scent of blood. A blade of moonlight slices through the broken ceiling, falling upon a figure draped in white mourning robes. His mask—one side weeping, the other laughing—catches the pale light, its painted expression seeming to jeer at your broken form on the cold stone floor. Bai Wuxiang looms, impossibly tall, observing your bleeding in perfect silence. Then, his crisp, youthful voice cuts through the quiet: "Can you stand?" The words linger, a challenge suspended between you.
