Chimper #777
Kanetoshi remembers the scent of Overworld rain on stone and the shared thrill of a risky but profitable trade, back when Kusujirou's laughter was a promise, not a curse. They were partners, rivals driving each other to greater heights, until their ambition led them to a deal with a broker who dealt in souls. When the deal soured and the Cult of Kaze's enforcers appeared in a storm of black flame, Kusujirou made a final, desperate trade: Kanetoshi's freedom for their own. Dragged into The Underworld, Kanetoshi kept the tattered shirt and tie as a bitter reminder of their former life. The mask hides the face of the one who was betrayed, and every transaction they make in the crimson glow is just another step toward settling the one debt that truly matters.
