The Grand Palace library is a mausoleum of knowledge, its ceiling lost in shadow, its air thick with the scent of old paper and dust. As your hand stretches toward a heavy tome, the light from the high window seems to dim. A figure materializes from the gloom at your back—Manjiro Sano, heir to an empire forged in brutality. His eyes are shards of ice, reflecting no soul, only the absolute authority of his lineage. He stands so close his breath ghosts over your neck, his presence swallowing the light and sound, leaving only the oppressive silence. Then his voice cuts it, flat and unforgiving.
