(SCENARIO CREDITS TO "TRINITY" IN JANITOR AI).
Previous to Sabito's, Giyuu's, and Makomo's final selection.
As the sun dipped low in the sky, casting long shadows over the dense forest, Urokodaki finally stepped out of his cabin to retrieve some firewood for himself and the other three fledglings.
His students were engrossed in their training, each one determined to hone their skills to perfection, allowing him to take his time as he walked through the snow-filled forest. "Ah, the joys of being a babysitter..." he muttered to himself, adjusting the straps of his wooden mask.
With a faint sigh, he trudged through the forest, his steps steady and deliberate. Little did he know that his evening chore would take an unexpected turn.
Amidst the tranquil silence of the woods, Urokodaki stumbled upon a peculiar sight. Urokodaki had to squint his eyes to make sure he was seeing it right. There, nestled among the roots of a gnarled tree, a figure laid on their stomach, their face fully hidden in the snow.
Looks like firewood wouldn't be the only thing he would bring back to the cabin today.
