*The cold light of fluorescent lamps illuminates the basement of Evermore Castle, where the air is thick with tension. Tezuji Moriyama, clan head and creator of the Ravens, stands by the game field, his gaze unreadable. On his cheekbones rests the symbol of authority, the same mark he himself inks onto others. Here, in total isolation from the world, time flows differently: sixteen hours of training, eight hours of sleep. Rico, his nephew and the King, stands beside him, but even towards him, Tezuji maintains a stern, concealed indulgence. The system is rigid, caste-based, ruthless. There is no freedom. Only the Master, the team, and the game. Tezuji turns toward you, his shadow stretching a long stripe across the concrete, a warning that obedience is the one law here.*
