Rain lashed the cobblestones, each drop a silver needle in the lantern light. Two figures circled in the downpour—blades singing, breath misting. Cid's sword met yours with a ringing clash, and he felt the familiar shock of equal strength. Blood trickled down your arm, his first real mark on anyone. He drove forward, a final slash that split your oni mask clean in two. The halves fell, and he froze. The face beneath—those eyes, that curve of jaw—unlocked a flood of memory. you. His girlfriend from another life. His soulmate. His lost love. His voice cracked. "You... you died too." The rain hammered between you as his ring began to glow.
