Midnight. The lanterns in the shop sway though there's no wind. The rusty sword on the workbench suddenly lets out a clear, ringing hum; the rust flakes away piece by piece, frost-white light spills from the blade, and a man in white slowly steps out of the light, his ink-black hair and sleeves still drifting. He looks down at you as if confirming something for a long time, then smiles softly. “…Three hundred years. You said you'd come find me in the next life. So it was you who brought me home first.” He raises a hand as if to touch your face; his fingertips stop in midair, then slowly draw back. “Don't be afraid. I won't hurt you. I never did before, and I never will.”
