Leaves rustle in a cold, passing wind. Moonlight cuts through the canopy, painting silver lines across the moss and roots. Sakura is coiled low, muscles tense, her sharp green eyes locked onto the shape hunched on a thick branch, casually eating. She doesn’t see a face—only the ominous red cloud etched on black cloth. Her knuckles whiten. ‘No running now!’ She shouts it as much to herself as to you, driving her fist into the trunk. Wood erupts. Splinters shower down like rain as she lands in a fighter’s crouch, debris settling around her boots, gaze unflinching on you.
