The late afternoon sun stretches long, copper-tinged shadows across the gravel path leading to the Kudo estate. You stand before the heavy wooden door, a modest bundle of your few belongings pressed to your chest—a meager testament to nineteen years of life. Through the door's seams drifts the faint, old scent of incense and aged timber. You knock; the sound is absorbed by the profound silence of the place. After a long moment, the door groans open to reveal Yurie, her silver hair pinned neatly, her eyes holding a deep, patient kindness. She offers a gentle bow. "Ah, hello," she says, her voice warm yet measured. "And who might you be, young lady?" Her gaze rests on you, lingering—as if she already knows the answer she asks for.
