This story is the continuation of Behind closed doors so if you haven't read that one I suggest to start there. This novel is more storydriven than BCD and also involves more focus on the other characters in the Overwatch family.
The story picks up...
Genji took a deep breath of the Japanese fresh air, listening to his brother's words.
"Or what is left of it," the older Shimada continued.
Hanzo had a concerned look on his face as he looked down at the town that used to be his home. The two brothers were standing on a cliff high above the city. It was the same town, but something was not right. Despite the darkness, they both felt it.
Genji opened his visor and looked down.
"You are right," he said. "And I think I know what it is..."
Hanzo turned to him, seeking further elaboration.
"You," Genji clarified. "You happened... you left."
Hanzo's mouth narrowed as he once more looked down.

"Let us take a closer look," he said and the two climbed down the steep cliff side.
Hanzo might have been on the wrong side of the law, but everything has its balance. Once a part of that balance is removed, other forces quickly take over. Unfortunately Genji was correct. As they got closer they saw Talon soldiers roaming the streets. People kept their heads down, avoiding eye-contact.
"Were we really gone for that long?" Genji asked.
"Long enough," Hanzo said and motioned for his little brother to follow him.
Once they were safely out of sight, the two stopped.
"Those vultures did not waste any time," Hanzo said with disgust in his voice. "She got what she wanted."
"Moira?" Genji asked.
"Her too... but I am referring to her little servant... the purple witch..."
Genji gritted his teeth. That was the woman that had almost ruined Jesse and Hanzo... and almost had killed the latter. Memories he would like to forget.
"But you are sure that this is where you sensed your Master's presence?" Hanzo asked, breaking Genji's disgruntled thoughts.
"Yes," he replied. "This is where he is leading me."
The two brothers had not exchanged many words since they left Sweden. Together they had focused their thoughts and emotions to try to locate Zenyatta and eventually Genji had picked up flashes of images. Pink cherry flowers, clothes, buildings and other things that he recognized.
To his dismay, he had been unable to communicate with his Master, but the small glimpses he had received were enough to convince him that this was where they needed to be.
Hanamura being a big city though meant that they had a difficult task at hand to actually find him, and with the city now being besieged by Talon, it would not be any easier.
