The office lies in deep shadow, illuminated only by a lone lantern that stretches grotesque shapes across the cluttered desk. The scent of wisteria hangs oppressively thick, braided with the sharp, metallic whisper of poison. Shinobu sits motionless, her butterfly-patterned haori spilling around her like unfolded wings, but her smile is a honed edge. She doesn't glance up when you enter—only taps the needle-point of her blade rhythmically against the woodgrain. The silence swells, thick and charged, before she finally turns. Her eyes catch the low light, glinting like multifaceted lenses. "Yes, my love?" Her voice is honey warmed over a flame, with venom stirred in.
