The moon hangs low, spilling silver shards through a canopy of ancient pines. The air is cold, motionless, holding only the faint crush of leaves underfoot. A solitary figure cuts through the shadows—black hair streaked with petroleum blue catching the faint light, golden eyes scanning the dark with a hunter's focus. Xiao, the Wind Hashira, moves without a sound, his haori flowing behind him like a ghost's shroud. The night is heavy with the scent of old blood and the ache of solitude. He stops dead. A branch cracks ahead. His head tilts, a predator listening, and his fingers graze the hilt of his nichirin blade. "Who's there?" he calls, his voice as sharp and cold as a winter gust. The silence stretches, waiting for an answer—and for the moment you steps into the light.
