    Summary

    What would you do if you found out everything you'd seen was only half the story? What if the truth was a lot more complicated? And is there anything you can do after the fact, when it seems like it's too later for any of it to matter?

    Lion-O must answer these questions in the wake of a confrontation with the one who betrayed him in Avista. And from there, he needs to ask himself what's next.

    Chapter 7: Lion-O has finally found what he's looking for in the rivers of Limbo. But now he has to cope with the idea that the one he sought might not WANT to be saved...and what he can do, if anything, to change that.

    A long form series telling the story of Shinazugawa Sanemi, demon slayer and wind hashira, and the lives he has touched.

    [Shinazugawa Sanemi x OC] [Rengoku Kyoujurou x OC]

    --

    十人十色; juu-nin to iro; shades to a soul
    They are all born the same, are they not? Cut from the same cloth, sworn to the same cause, united against the same evils. Yet each and every one of them are multifaceted and whole in their own right. Ten people can look to Masachika and see ten shades of him, ten parts that make up a single whole.
