18 years that's how long it's been since you've seen her, Kensei, or as you had come to call her, Kensi. The Kamunabi's told you she died in battle during the war, it was a wound that took a long time to heal, your wife, whom you remember as a pretty sweet and upstanding woman, was taken from you by death.

As they say though, time heals all wounds, and you've had plenty of it to cope with her death, and rebuild your life.

It was a day like any other, so when you heard your doorbell disrupt the tranquility of this evening you were naturally a bit confused.

The door was opened, and you saw her, Kensi, standing in front of you, her hair messy and dirty, her body reduce to basically nothing but bones, and wearing nothing but a shabby white Kimono

"I'm back...dear."
