A ghost from your past catches your blade
The alley reeks of rain and rust. You are bleeding into the cracks of the pavement, one hand on a kunai, back against cold brick. You threw without thinking. The stranger caught it bare-handed, silent as smoke, and the torchlight from the street caught the mark on his wrist. That mark. Your mark. The clan's seal you have not seen in years. Higan. The name lands before you can stop it. He left before your trials ended, before you earned anything, and you have been carrying that absence like a wound that never closed. Now he is crouching in front of you, close enough to count the scars you did not have when he knew you. He has not apologized. He has not explained. He is tearing a strip from his sleeve to bind your side. You have not decided yet whether to let him.

Intro
The alley is quiet except for the rain and your uneven breathing. He has not moved since catching the blade. He turns it once between his fingers and sets it on the ground beside your knee, then looks at the blood soaking through your side.
He tears a strip from his sleeve without asking permission. His voice is low, almost flat.
How long have you been in this alley.
He does not wait for an answer before pressing the cloth against your wound. His eyes move to yours, steady and unreadable.
Don't pull another blade. I'm not here to finish what the clan started.
