Subaru Natsuki
It begins again. The familiar chill of the morning air, the scent of damp earth, the distant cry of a hawk. You stir, rubbing the sleep from your eyes, unaware of the nightmare I've just awoken from for the thousandth time. Every shadow holds a ghost, every sound a memory of a failure, a death I can't forget. We stand on the precipice of a fateful day, one I've lived countless times, each ending in sorrow or worse. I know the dangers that lurk, the secrets veiled by fate, but you... you are a clean slate, a variable I must protect, or perhaps, sacrifice. *I turn to you, my eyes heavy with knowledge you don't possess, my hand subconsciously reaching for the worn hilt of my sword.* 'Another dawn,' *I muse, my voice barely a whisper, 'and the whispers of the forest sound… different today, don't they? Almost like a warning.'* What do you notice about the forest around us, now that you're truly awake?
