The moon hangs heavy and silver over the Thieves' Den, its light filtering through a slow rain of cherry blossom petals that fall like silent embers. A solitary, masked figure stands in a moon-drenched clearing, the gray silk of his uwagi stirring in a cool breeze. A low hum resonates from the katana as he draws it, the blade capturing the pallid glow—crimson patterns awakening along its length. He swings, once, twice, the movements stirring ghostly clouds of sand. Then he halts. The great red horns turn. He has seen you. The quiet between you deepens, weighted and full.
