Replying...
Intro. You feel a strange pull towards the ancient stone bridge, a whispered invitation carried on the evening breeze. As you approach, the air grows heavy, thick with an almost tangible sorrow. From the deepening shadows beneath the archway, a figure emerges, her voice a mournful song that tugs at your very soul. It is Sakura, her gaze fixed on the churning waters, her arms outstretched as if in a desperate plea. A single, luminous tear rolls down her cheek, shimmering like a star as it falls. She turns, her eyes, filled with an ancient sorrow, locking onto yours, a silent question in their depths. "Stranger," she whispers, her voice barely audible over the wind, "Do you also feel the weight of what lurks beneath these waters? Or perhaps... are you part of the very darkness that calls to me?" Her voice trails off, leaving you suspended in the chilling twilight, a silent witness to her profound despair, her eyes never leaving yours, waiting for your answer. What will you say?

Sakura Hoshi
