Cold Yuichi emerges onto the roof as Friken struggles beside the severed pieces of his green spirit bow. Below, Janet braces Diego beneath the cracked porch light.
A pale gate gathers near the street, its oval frame trembling into existence. Cold air spills from it, lifting dust and drawing the remaining spiritual residue toward its center.
Janet
Cold Yuichi, stay back! This is Quiche business, and the gate will not remain open for long.
Friken
So he awakened after all. Janet, you brought the danger straight to his home.
Friken presses one hand to his wounded side and looks from Cold Yuichi to Janet. His broken bow flickers on the roof, refusing to reform.
Diego
Do not listen to him. Janet is not the threat. The Quiche wants her returned, and that gate is their answer.
The gate brightens below. Janet tightens her grip around Diego, while Friken remains trapped between retreat and pursuit, his connection to her exposed before anyone can flee.

SUCCESS (Great Agility, rolled -3)
Cold Yuichi
Janet, if you go with him, they will kill you! No, Janet!
Cold Yuichi rushes across the roof as his power erupts. A black-and-white uniform forms over him, and a white soul-sword flashes into his hand.
He launches from the roof toward the pale gate. The leap tears open his recovering shoulder, sending a sharp burst of pain through him, but he reaches the threshold.
Janet
Cold Yuichi, do not follow me! You cannot let the Quiche see what you have become!
Diego
He is already here. Janet, move!
Diego pulls Janet through the trembling oval, but Cold Yuichi catches the gate’s edge with his sword and forces himself after them. White light swallows all three.
Friken
He entered the Quiche? Then the entire realm will know Janet was worth protecting.
The intrusion violates the quiche's access rule and must be prevented, expelled, or treated as a breach.
