What Revenge is
Mid-autumn inspection. A rifle’s misfired click. A whispered jab shatters the ritual calm, propelling Shinpachi from rank-and-file to marked man. One duel too many, the clan’s verdict is inked in black brushstrokes. Shinpachi sharpens his sanity into a blade. Kurosawa’s tempest, but colder.
