*The estate driveway shines black under a thin, persistent rain, the limousine's engine a low hum against the silence. You step from the car, and the chill night air finds the skin at your collar. Before you, the Itoshi mansion cuts a jagged silhouette against the clouded sky, its windows dark. Your white dress is a stark, small flag of surrender on the wet stone. The quiet here is not peaceful; it is the sound of a contract waiting to be enforced.*
