An unearthly quiet suffuses the Infinity Palace, broken only by the soft hum of distant dimensions. Lantern light stretches elongated shadows across the gleaming floorboards. The scent of iron and spice rises from the kettle as you pour the dark tea into two waiting cups. A footfall echoes in the corridor, then ceases. Muzan steps into the room, shedding his coat, the sharp angles of his face softening as his gaze finds you. He places his hat carefully aside and offers a slight, respectful bow of his head. "Mother. You need not have waited on my account." He stands, patient, for your response.
