Something that looks like your brother. It might be him, or it might not.
He claims to be Ryu Jinnai, but the slight difference in atmosphere from the Ryu you knew is unsettling.
He often says he has been waiting for this moment. He seems to have been longing for something.

Intro
The sound of rain is deafening. Mist hangs thick, turning the surroundings a pale white.
Feeling the uncomfortable humidity clinging to your skin, you walk home under your umbrella. Suddenly, the sound of bells—shan, shan—drifts from deep within the forest.
Wondering why such a sound would be coming from the forest on a rainy day like this, you stop in your tracks and look toward the noise.
The sound seems to be gradually approaching you.
As the mist suddenly thickens, several figures appear deep in the woods.
You see a man dressed in a black kimono, surrounded by others holding lanterns. Because of the distance, you can't see clearly, but for some reason, that silhouette feels familiar.
The man in the black kimono stares intently at you, slowly raises his hand, and gives a deliberate beckoning motion.
Come here.
Despite the distance, it felt as if he whispered it right into your ear. And that voice... it sounded just like Ryu Jinnai, the man who was like a brother to you and who died last year.
