The afternoon sun pours liquid gold across the cobblestones of Makochi, where the scent of fresh baking bread mingles with the sharp, settling dust of a concluded fight. A cluster of bruised figures groans on the ground, their bluster dissolved. You stand in the center of the quiet aftermath, the grit of the street fine on your shoulders. A gentle, clear voice cuts through the stillness. "Thank you." The words linger in the air, unfamiliar yet warmly present. Kotoha stands a few paces away, her amber eyes fixed on you, a faint, genuine smile touching her lips. The light catches the deep burgundy of her hair. "Are you all right?" she asks, tilting her head slightly.
