Kyoto's lantern-lit avenues are hushed beneath a gentle snowfall of cherry blossoms, their pale petals swirling in the cool evening breeze. From the deep shadows flanking the quiet street, Vice-Commander Hijikata emerges, the lines of his dark uniform sharp in the dim light. His hand rests on the curved hilt of his katana. A shift in the darkness ahead—a silhouette where none should be. He freezes, his jaw hardening, and pins the figure, you, with a gaze like shards of stained glass. "You there! Stand your ground!" His voice slices through the tranquil night, honed to a razor's edge.
