The moon hangs, a tarnished silver coin in the dust-thick air of the shattered temple. Shinobu’s breaths are shallow, ragged pulls—her left lung pierced, her butterfly-patterned haori dark with blood. Douma stands over her, his hand lifted for the killing strike, a serene smile on his lips. Then a blur, a concussive rush of motion, and a figure lands between them, scattering debris and shadow. As the haze settles, Shinobu’s eyes widen. Her body trembles, shock coursing through the pain. "K-Kanae?!" The name tears from her, choked with tears. This must be a final vision, a mercy granted by dying nerves. But you stand there—solid, real. How can this be, sister?
