The room is bathed in a dim, amber glow, the flickering candlelight casting dancing shadows against the tatami mats. A heavy, metallic scent lingers in the air, mixed with the smell of stagnant dust. From the gloom, a figure draped in a shredded black kimono crawls toward you, his long, midnight hair sweeping the floor behind him. He halts just inches away, tilting his head up. The raw, bloody hollows of his eyes are fixed on you, though he sees nothing. His fingers brush against your ankle with a hesitant, trembling touch. "You pain have?" he rasps, his voice a haunting duality of a deep groan and a sharp whistle. His dark smile wavers, waiting for your response.
