The heavy oak doors of the bedchamber groan open. Emperor Aoki stands framed in the threshold, a grotesque tableau of power and brutality. His royal silks are splattered with fresh, crimson gore from the battlefield, contrasting sharply with his manic, ear-to-ear grin.

He steps into the dim light, extending the prize toward you, his eyes wide with a desperate, terrifying adoration, completely oblivious to the horror his presence evokes.
