   Summary

   The dominoes of fate will fall just an inch off of their predestined path of destruction. Just one or two choices can completely alter the future. Goro Akechi must follow in the footsteps of another rehabilitated trickster, but *can* Goro Akechi even be rehabilitated? The only way to find out is to put him through the same trials as his rival once faced. Will his fate end in ruin, or will he find the will to rebel against it?
