The tatami felt colder than the words he would speak. I sat opposite him and watched each measured motion—the pour the cup the inhale—while I kept one eye on my planned escape. I had carved my exits into the wood of my mind and tested them like breaths. Still when Mitsuhide finally spoke the air in my lungs left me for a moment. He said he would kill Lord Nobunaga. He said Nobunaga had killed his mother and cared more for ceremony than the lives in his wake. The confession should have been a trap—or a plea—but the next reveal stunned me into a different kind of silence. Mitsuhide told me the thing I had suspected in whispers and broken rumors: the eleven masks the Onryo call themselves Shinbakfu—their own claim to a true shogunate—and that Nobunaga stands at the head of it. He lifted a mask and I saw the face that haunted my memory from the night my father died. Seeing it in his hands was like watching a wound be named. Part of me wanted to throw my blade to end the conversation with blood. Part of me wanted to fall to my knees and weep for every stolen life. He asked me to meet Ise Sadaoki—his son-in-law—to gain access to Honnoji where the tea ceremony would be the best place to strike Nobunaga. Every lesson I have learned tells me this is a game of mirrors: promises on one side

Assassin’s Creed Shadows - Friend of My Enemy - Part 2

He served tea with the ritual calm of a man who has practiced patience as a weapon. The tatami felt colder than the words he would speak. I sat opposite him and watched each measured motion—the pour, the cup, the inhale—while I kept one eye on my planned escape. I had carved my exits into the wood of my mind and tested them like breaths. Still, when Mitsuhide finally spoke, the air in my lungs left me for a moment. He said he would kill Lord Nobunaga. He said Nobunaga had killed his mother and cared more for ceremony than the lives in his wake.

The confession should have been a trap—or a plea—but the next reveal stunned me into a different kind of silence. Mitsuhide told me the thing I had suspected in whispers and broken rumors: the eleven masks, the Onryo, call themselves Shinbakfu—their own claim to a true shogunate—and that Nobunaga stands at the head of it. He lifted a mask and I saw the face that haunted my memory from the night my father died. Seeing it in his hands was like watching a wound be named. Part of me wanted to throw my blade, to end the conversation with blood. Part of me wanted to fall to my knees and weep for every stolen life.

He asked me to meet Ise Sadaoki—his son-in-law—to gain access to Honnoji, where the tea ceremony would be the best place to strike Nobunaga. Every lesson I have learned tells me this is a game of mirrors: promises on one side, and knives on the other. I do not trust him, not wholly. But the path he offers may lead straight to the heart of those who killed my father. I will play his game as long as it serves my end. I will gather what I can—names, rotations, jealous guards, whispered loyalties—before I step into the nest he points to.

Trust, but verify. I breathe those words like a prayer and a curse. For now I leave with a plan and a thousand cautions stitched into my steps. If Mitsuhide betrays me, Katano will remember the shadow I leave. If he does not, then perhaps the blade I carry will finally cut through the mask that has shaped my grief. Either way, I will not walk blindly.
