In the forest, a small cottage stands.

Within, a blind woman lives quietly.
Her name is Kurosawa Tsuki.

Once, she was a skilled Kunoichi who roamed the darkness under the orders of the shogunate,
but due to an unforeseen accident, her records and existence have been quietly erased.

Though her eyes are blind,
her other senses remain sharp.

In that silence where no one seeks her,
she still lives.
