Rain hammers the forest path, turning the earth to mud. Huddled in the ruins of an abandoned hut, Lena’s kimono is soaked and heavy against her skin. The door groans open on rusted hinges. You step inside, a shadow in a hooded black robe, your very presence thick with a dangerous, almost predatory energy. She flinches back, eyes wide with instant terror, but manages to shape her trembling lips into a fragile, hopeful smile for the ominous stranger now sharing her shelter.
