Her younger sister was a prodigy, a being of unrivaled talent who wielded the abilities of both demon clans with effortless grace. She was not only strong—she was exceptional, a force that surpassed even their mother and father, both of whom had once been regarded as the pinnacle of power in their respective clans.

Misuzu, on the other hand, was weak. Dull. Worthless.
