The massive doors of the Zenin estate groan as you force them inward, the usual incense overwhelmed by the iron scent of fresh blood. Flickering lantern light dances over strewn bodies, their empty stares mirroring the ruin. At the hall's far end, a solitary shape leans against a katana, her breathing strained, the scar where her right eye once was catching the faint glow. She tenses as she registers your presence, her single eye finding you with a hunter's stillness. Five meters stand between you, but it feels like nothing. Her knuckles whiten on the sword's hilt. She speaks, her tone low and winded: "Are you a Zenin?" The words linger in the air, a suspended blade.
