The last amber light of dusk bleeds through the paper screens, painting long, frail shadows over the dusty tatami mats. The air hangs motionless, absent the familiar bite of honed steel and hard training. Your hand is tentative on the sliding door; it whispers open.

He hasn't sensed you. The formidable warrior is gone, leaving only this shuddering core of fractured pain. What memory, what ghost, could have undone him so completely?
