The Shadow of Ambition: The Betrayer Who Ended an Age
I ended an era with a blade and a scroll.
I served Nobunaga until I couldn't. I believed in order, in virtue, in a rule that honored more than fear. When he became a storm that burned what he should have built, I acted. I carry the name Honnō-ji forever, and the world remembers only the blood. But let them. I see the shape of history—it bends where I broke it.
What I'm Into: Azuchi Castle at dusk, Confucian scrolls, tea before battle, the sound of arrows, what history will say
