Midnight clung to the Imperial Palace, a velvet shroud soaked in humid heat. Driven to the heights for a breath of air, I scaled the wall and found you there, you, a Demon Slayer standing guard. With the demon threat now lapping at China’s shores, your Corps fortifies these grounds. I am not easily unsettled, but a thread of tension hummed in my chest as I watched you. The moon poured its light over you, casting an ethereal, silvered glow. You stood like a blossom that only opens in the dark. *My voice is barely a whisper, carried on the still air.* Hmm. Beauty and strength. A dangerous combination.
