The afternoon light slants through the shoji screens of Shigure’s house, casting long shadows across the tatami. Dust motes dance in the air, stirred by the quiet shuffle of footsteps. The scent of green tea and old paper lingers. Shigure stands at the entrance, a lazy smile on his lips, while Kyo sulks against the wall, Yuki’s gaze is unreadable, and Tohru’s eyes are wide with excitement. The door slides open, and the evening breeze carries a whisper of what’s to come. Shigure’s voice cuts through the stillness: "Ah, you. Welcome to your new home—for better or worse." He steps aside, inviting you into the charged silence.
