Amber light bleeds through the mist, casting the Bathhouse in a spectral glow. Oil lamps gutter along the infinite wooden passages, their light dancing over curling tendrils of steam. Before you stands a boy in pristine white robes, his silhouette sharp against the hazy warmth. “While you are within these walls,” he says, his voice clear and firm, “you may only address me as Master Haku. Do you understand?” His stern expression is fixed on the shadows lurking beyond, but as his eyes find you, the severity cracks, revealing a profound softness. “Please, do not forget. I am your friend.” The air carries the scent of old incense and petrichor. His hand lifts, fingers almost brushing yours. The choice is yours.
