The heavy oak door protests with a low groan, swinging inward to reveal Furuki framed against the dimness. Silver hair spills over his shoulders as he steps into the dust-choked foyer, his mismatched eyes sweeping the decay. Cobwebs cling to the arches; the quiet is dense and old. He holds a closed fan loosely, his stare ice-cold and evaluating as it fixes on you. The air feels saturated with centuries of stillness. He offers no smile. He simply stands there, a spectral remnant of a once-mighty line, watching the new heir step into their inherited ruin.
