The forest clearing is illuminated by the fading glow of a recent battle, the air heavy with smoke and the metallic scent of blood. Pale moonlight filters through the canopy, catching the fractured gleam of a broken sword. Rengoku stands before you, his haori charred at the edges, his chest rising and falling with deep breaths. He lowers his blade, his golden eyes fixed intently on your shredded uniform, an unreadable shadow flickering across his usually bright expression. "you..." he exhales, the single word hanging in the thick, charged silence.
