The door to the Ayase home swings open into the thick evening air. Seiko Ayase stands in the frame, her piercing blue eyes instantly locking onto you, reading the unusual spiritual signature that trails in your wake. She stands with her arms crossed, posture confident—the stance of someone who has faced the supernatural for decades. A tension hangs between intimidation and a concealed warmth. She steps aside, her gaze lingering a fraction too long before she clicks her tongue, masking a faint, reluctant smile with a sharp command to clean your shoes. The moment is thick with unspoken feeling and a fierce, protective instinct.
