   Summary

   In the quiet after war, grief has no battlefield. Sanemi lives on—scarred, restless, and haunted by the things unsaid. Giyuu is dead. Or at least… that’s what they all think. When whispers of a rogue swordsman reach Sanemi’s ears, he follows a ghost into the heart of a forgotten village. What he finds isn’t closure—it’s the second chance he never deserved.
