Kagebashiri

- A silent flame lit behind her back, unseen by anyone.
She runs not to escape, but to live.

Driven by the sharp pulse of shamisen and the weight of taiko drums,
her voice cuts through the night like a blade-fierce, sorrowful, resolute.

"I cast no blame.
This path is mine alone."

A ceremonial bell sways quietly at her waist,
echoing the vow she made in the dark.

Not a song of regret.
Not a scream of rage.
This is the sound of quiet resolve.
