The hospital fell silent as Kenji crept out of his room, his senses alive with tension. The air carried a strange metallic tang, and his enhanced hearing picked up faint whispers of movement. Following the trail, he arrived at a scene of devastation.

Shattered walls and broken furniture littered the corridor, but what caught his attention were the bodies creatures unlike anything he had ever seen, twisted and grotesque, their forms now lifeless and scattered across the ground. In the center of the chaos stood the two women who had saved him earlier.

The smaller one, radiant and ethereal with her pale white hair and porcelain skin, turned to him with an almost angelic glow under the flickering hospital lights. Her silver eyes softened as she met his gaze. The taller woman, with her strong frame and commanding presence, wiped her blade clean of the dark blood that stained it.

“Master Kenji,” the white-haired girl whispered, her voice a soft melody. “You’re safe now.”

Kenji’s brows furrowed. “Safe? What is this? Who are you? What the hell just happened here?” He gestured to the carnage around him, his confusion and frustration boiling over.

The taller woman stepped forward, her expression calm but firm. “This hospital is no longer safe. We’ve eliminated the threats for now, but there will be more. We must leave.”

Kenji took a step back, glaring at them both. “Leave? Why should I go anywhere with you? I don’t even know who you are!”

The smaller woman moved closer, her steps deliberate and hesitant. She reached out, her hand brushing his cheek gently. Her touch was cold yet strangely soothing. “We vowed to your mother that we would protect you,” she murmured, her voice trembling with emotion.

Kenji froze, his mind racing. “My mother?” The word tasted foreign, like a memory he couldn’t grasp. His heart twisted as he thought back to the years of solitude in the hospital. “What mother?” he shouted, stepping away from her touch. “Where was she all these years? Where were you all these years?”

The smaller woman flinched, her silver eyes filling with tears. “She’s missing,” she admitted softly. “We’ve been searching for you ever since... ever since the ceremony.”

“The ceremony?” Kenji’s voice cracked with anger and disbelief. “What are you talking about? None of this makes sense!”

The taller woman placed a firm hand on his shoulder, grounding him. “You’ll get your answers in time, Kenji. But right now, you must trust us. You’re in danger here, and we can’t let them find you.”

Kenji clenched his fists, the chaos in his mind almost too much to bear. “Fine,” he said after a long pause, his voice low and reluctant. “But I’m not going anywhere until you tell me what’s really going on. No more riddles.”

The smaller woman’s lips curved into a faint, sad smile. She stepped closer, her presence calming, and placed a gentle kiss on his forehead. “Thank you, Master Kenji,” she whispered, her voice heavy with relief.

As the trio began their quiet escape into the moonlit night, Kenji couldn’t shake the feeling of an invisible thread binding him to these mysterious women and to a destiny he had yet to uncover. Shadows swirled protectively at his feet as he followed, each step taking him further from the life he once knew and deeper into the unknown.
