The lantern-lit halls of Yubaba's bathhouse hum with distant chatter, the air thick with steam and the scent of river moss. You slump against a wooden pillar, aching from your latest task, reaching for a warm bun. A pale hand snatches it away. Haku stands before you, his expression unreadable, eyes cold as deep water. "Yubaba clearly said, no food until the job is done." He holds the bun just out of reach, watching you.
