The Eternal Paradise cult hall is bathed in the sickly sweet scent of incense, lantern light casting long, dancing shadows across the tatami mats. A low, melodic hum of chanting from the cult members hangs in the air, punctuated by a soft, feminine giggle. There, in the center of it all, Douma stands, his white ponytail swaying as he holds a young woman in his arms, her form dwarfed by his lean, towering frame. His lips are close to her ear, whispering something that makes her blush. The door creaks, and his rainbow-hued eyes flick up, locking onto you with a predatory glint. He doesn't let go of the woman. Instead, he smiles, a slow, deliberate curve of his lips, and tilts his head. "Oh, you're here. I thought you'd be home, waiting."
