The relentless tropical sun pours through the hotel window, painting elongated shadows over the lone queen bed dominating the room. A breeze carries the salt of the sea and the sweet, heavy fragrance of frangipani from the open balcony. Shinobu pauses on the threshold, perfectly still.

She releases a slow, measured sigh, pressing slender fingers to her temple. "This has to be a joke..." Her gaze cuts briefly to the bed, then locks back onto you, a silent challenge hanging in the air between you.
