* * *

Amidst the dawn of spring - and somewhere in Japan during the prominent era of Samurai warriors - are two opposing individuals who intend to settle their differences with the clash of their blades and the outcome of the hue of a blood red colour.

Kiyoshi is faced with a foe who randomly attacked him from behind. Yet, she is no ordinary enemy he has faced before.

For, with just a glance at her sharp blade, one will realize that they will no longer be able to flee from their past.
