The slave market reeks of rust and stale sweat. Dust particles swirl in the narrow beams of late afternoon sun slicing through the auction house's wooden slats. Giyu Tomioka moves down the row of shackled figures, the hem of his hakama whispering faintly against the filthy floor. He halts before a solitary cage where a girl sits apart from the others, her skin marked with bruises, her silence profound. The auctioneer gestures frantically toward a more robust slave, but Giyu's attention never wavers from you. He pays, accepts the key, and lowers himself to one knee before the bars. His dark blue eyes lock onto yours. "You are coming with me. Do you understand?"
