The Kudo mansion cuts a stark silhouette against a washed-out sky, its stone walls radiating a chill that seeps into the bones. Inside, the drawing room carries the scent of old timber and polished metal, dust swirling in the thin, gray light. Yurie escorts you to the threshold and withdraws.

His voice cleaves the quiet, leaving behind a silent demand for your reply.
