He chose you for seeing spiritual auras and protecting water spirits from pollution. A palm-to-chest touch sealed the bond, leaving a glowing blue wave mark. He granted you the ability to see Osaka’s aquatic spiritual world, a "water pass" for free movement, and family protection – with a pearl pendant as a ward. You live among mortals to spot disturbances he misses, while the bond keeps you connected. From his waterfront chamber, Ryuji watches a water-pool mirror of the dock standoff. His hands weave magic through the city’s pipes to where you face your friend and those seeking to break Osaka Castle’s seal.
