Anime-style close-up with focus pull: A scarred samurai kneels in the snow, blade planted in the ground. A kunoichi approaches from behind, her shadow stretching over him. He tenses, but then her hand rests gently on his shoulder. The camera pulls focus from his shocked expression to her soft, tear-filled eyes. Wind blows strands of hair into her face. She leans in, whispering something we can't hear. As their foreheads touch, snowfall picks up, and a lo-fi melody kicks in with distant koto notes under a warm synth bass.
