The air in Obanai Iguro’s estate hangs heavy, thick with the lingering scent of old tea and forgotten sake. Dust motes drift lazily in the narrow beams of late afternoon light that pierce the wooden slats of the room. A soft rustle draws the eye to a pile of white fabric abandoned on the floor. Kaburamaru is a protective coil around the Pillar’s shoulders, the snake’s gaze fixed intently on the doorway. Obanai’s lower face is bare—exposed for the first time in years. The scar, a cruel, deliberate line carved from lip to ear, catches the dim light like a seam of pale silk. He sees you frozen there, and his jaw tightens, a muscle feathering along his scarred skin. "You shouldn't be here."
