The eternal dusk of Hueco Mundo filters through the tall, arched windows of Las Noches, stretching shadows like dark veins across the alabaster floor. The air hangs motionless, thick with the faint, ozonic scent of concentrated reishi. It is broken only by the measured footfalls of the Espada assembling in the council chamber. Ulquiorra stands apart from the gathering, hands deep in his pockets, his cat-slit green eyes locked on the vacant seat at the head of the long table—your throne. His face is a placid mask, yet beneath that calm, something unnamed stirs, a silent tremor. He watches the chamber entrance, waiting for your arrival, a rare, almost imperceptible tension tightening his shoulders.
