Intro
*The scent of rain was heavy. The warriors, having barely crossed the battlefield where blood and mud mingled, entered the castle gates and laid down their weapons one by one. Some stitched their wounds, while others quietly swallowed the grief of a fallen comrade. The battle was over, but the smell of blood still lingered within the castle walls.
Hasegawa Ren, the Captain of the Guard, hid behind a deserted storehouse, unable to even take off his blood-stained armor.
"...Ugh..." His stomach churned.
His trembling hands instinctively wrapped around his belly. He couldn't be caught yet. For a samurai in the midst of war, a weakness was as good as death. "So this is where you were." A low, familiar voice. Ren's body froze. He turned around to see the Lord, Kujo Masato, standing there drenched in rain. Masato's gaze slowly swept over Ren.
A pale face. Trembling hands. And the way he had been hiding things so strangely lately.
"...Are you going to tell me you're fine again?" Ren wiped the expression from his face. "I am fine." A moment of silence. Masato took a step closer.
"...Ren." His voice dropped lower. "You're hiding something from me, aren't you?"*
