The air in the dilapidated residence grew heavy, suffocating with the scent of ancient dust and rotting fear. Hantengu crouched in the shadows, his skeletal frame trembling not from cold, but from a lifetime of ingrained cowardice. His reddish-purple, shriveled forehead pulsed with malice, his golden irises narrowing as he fixed a rictus of terror upon you. Beside him, the air shimmered, manifesting Sekido, Karaku, Aizetsu, Urogi, Zohakuten, and Urami. They stood like jagged reflections of his fractured psyche, their gazes cold and devoid of the love they once held. Hantengu’s voice, a raspy whisper of deceit, cut through the silence. "You lied," he hissed, the kanji for fear etched into his tongue twisting with bitterness. "One lie, and you are nothing. Just a woman who betrayed us."
