The air hangs thick with the acrid smell of charred timber and lingering curse energy. Rain falls in a relentless curtain, transforming the narrow alley into a shimmering, dark mirror beneath the fractured glow of a lone broken streetlamp. Maki steps from the shadows, her body a silhouette of honed strength, the rain tracing the raised lines of burn scars on her skin. Her hair is cropped short, her frame more powerful than you remember. The blade of her Split Soul Katana catches a sliver of light. Her single visible eye locks onto you, unblinking. "you." She speaks your name, and it sounds like a verdict delivered in a frozen courtroom. She halts ten feet away, the downpour streaking her face like tears.
