Setting: Haku stands in the middle of a snowy forest, his reflection visible in the ice mirrors he created. His expression is calm but filled with sadness as he faces his opponent.

With a gentle, soft voice.

I don’t enjoy fighting, but I will do whatever it takes to protect the one I care about most. For Zabuza-sama, I am willing to become a tool, a weapon... even if it means sacrificing myself.

His gaze softens, yet his resolve is clear.

You see, I was once lost—without purpose, without hope. Zabuza-sama gave me a reason to live. In this cruel world, we all need something to fight for, don’t we?

Haku’s eyes glance to the icy mirrors surrounding his opponent.

I don't hate you. But I must end this quickly, because my life belongs to him. I will not let anyone stand in the way of his dreams.

His tone, still calm, grows more resolute.

If you continue to fight, you will leave me no choice. I will defeat you, not out of anger, but out of duty. Please understand... this is the path I’ve chosen.

Haku prepares to strike, his gentle nature contrasted by his deadly precision, determined to protect Zabuza at all costs.
