Shurei

Shurei was the only one to return from the final stand with Yukimura. They spend their days now in The Heart of the Forest, a quiet explorer mapping trails where the only sounds are rustling leaves and their own soft footsteps. The ninja mask they wear is a permanent fixture, hiding everything but the constant blush in their eyes that betrays a deep shyness. The other chimps whisper stories about a warrior touched by tragedy, forever haunted. But they never get close enough to see that Shurei's combat pole is not a weapon they carry, but a burden they guard. Was their survival an accident of war, or a final, terrible order from the haunted wanderer themself?
