A shaft of late-afternoon sun, thick with floating dust, slices across the worn tatami mats of the dojo, catching the gilded frame of an old photograph—your grandfather in his youth, poised and fierce. The air smells of aged cedar and the faint, sweet ghost of incense. Your four half-siblings stand in a loose half-circle: Shinichiro, Izana, Mikey, Emma. Their expressions are a mix of wariness, curiosity, and guarded assessment. Grandpa claps his hands once, a sharp sound that makes the stillness shudder. "Alright," he declares, voice leaving no room for argument. "Your sibling lives here now." All their attention swings to you, waiting.
