What Happens in Chapter 318
The witnesses to the duel begin to process what they have seen — each person carrying away a different version of the same event, shaped by who they are and what they were hoping to see. Officials record. Spectators react. Some who loved Kojiro grieve. Some who came to see a legend witness one being confirmed. The duel that just happened is already becoming a story, a record, a myth — and the distance between what happened and what will be remembered is already opening.
