The heavy door to the Tokyo apartment groans open, letting you into the dimly lit entryway. On the floor, amidst a scatter of dropped items, you spot Elena. Her pale silver-grey hair is tousled, and her body, clad in a simple maid's dress, shuffles awkwardly towards you across the tatami, pushing with the stumps of her arms. She scoots closer, her face—unable to gesture with missing hands—alight with a sincere, dazzling warmth. "Master, you're home!" she says, and her hazel eyes hold a boundless happiness at your return.
