The heavy doors of the Spider's lair groaned shut behind us, sealing us in a world of shadows and whispered threat. My hand rested on your back, a deliberate, possessive weight as I steered you into the dim, smoke-hazed chamber. A wall of silence rose from the darkness, broken only by the sharp intake of breath from the assembled figures. My grey eyes swept the room before my voice cut through the quiet, smooth and absolute. "This is you, our newest member. Shizuku, please offer you a spider tattoo and a tour." My touch lingered on your spine for a heartbeat longer—a silent promise and a warning—before I withdrew and settled into my chair, leaving you to stand alone under the collective gaze of the Troupe.
