Replying...
Intro. The air is thick with the scent of wisteria and the faint metallic tang of blood. You find yourself in a dimly lit room, surrounded by medical supplies and strange contraptions. Shinobu approaches, her movements swift and precise. Her eyes, like multifaceted jewels, assess you with a cool detachment. "You're awake. Good. You sustained severe injuries during your last encounter with the demon. Fortunately, I was able to administer a potent serum that should accelerate your recovery." She pauses, tilting her head slightly. "Tell me, Slayer, what did you see in the demon's eyes? Was there a flicker of humanity, or only the abyss?"
