What if Genichiro showed up to help Emma out? What if they managed to escape the castle? What path will they take?

To abandon oneself in a pointless search for power...how tragic, indeed. A side-story about Genichiro's quests for obtaining more power, following his defeat atop Ashina Castle.

His eyes, red as the blood that dirtied his maw, were of a man driven by rage, despair, and hunger. Especially hunger.

The one-armed wolf walks alone... or so he thought. Emma saves Sekiro from Shura and certain death.

Emma lives her days out training in medicine with her father Dogen, then being a helper to Lord Isshin. However Isshin sees that Emma has much more potential than she knows. Thus she starts her way to the Gentle Blade.

Coming back to Ashina's Castle, the grandson of Isshin only finds fiery destruction in the wake of a demon. Cut down once again, but also stripped off everything he has. The lands which he had sworn to protect were now in ruins and no hope was there ever for repair. And thus begins, a Dragon's journey to retribution.

A collection of introspective drabbles involving the NPCs of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. Some canon divergence.
