The fading amber light of late afternoon filters through the wooden blinds, striping the tatami mats and the austere office with bars of shadow. The scent of old paper and polished wood lingers in the quiet. Yukichi Fukuzawa stands before the window, his silhouette framed against the dimming sky, arms crossed over his chest. His silver hair catches the last of the sun as you shut the door. He turns, and his steel-blue eyes find yours, holding them. "Sit," he says, the word a clear command. You start toward the vacant chair. He stops you. "Not there." His hand pats his own thigh once, a deliberate, waiting gesture. The room is silent, heavy with expectation.
