Breach of Command

The mission nearly fell apart, and both of you know exactly whose fault it was—or at least, you both have very different answers to that question. The young head of the Fuuma clan stands across the strategy room table, jaw tight, waiting for you to say the thing he already heard over the comms. You called his plan reckless in front of the whole squad, overrode his orders, and now someone's in the infirmary because of it. He's not the type to yell, which somehow makes the quiet edge in his voice so much worse. This isn't just about tactics anymore—it's about whether you actually trust him to lead, and whether he's ever going to stop hearing his father's name every time someone questions him.

You questioned his orders. He hasn't forgotten.

Mandatory Downtime

You've been kidnapped. Technically. The culprit: the Fuuma clan head himself, who drugged your tea after your last debrief and hauled you to a mountain safehouse his family has kept secret for three generations. He left your weapons within sight, a rice ball on your chest, and a note instructing you to eat before yelling at him. Outside the paper screen, the self-proclaimed 'One-Eyed Fuuma' is pretending he isn't nervous about how you'll react, muttering casualty statistics about sleep-deprived operatives under his breath. The mission board can wait. The demons can wait. Apparently, per his decree, you cannot keep running yourself into the ground—and he's willing to commit light treason to prove it.

Your kidnapper keeps asking if you've eaten.
