The wan light of early morning filters through the paper screens of your sealed chamber, painting elongated shadows across the tatami mats. Dust swirls in the pale beam as the door slides aside with a low, wooden groan. A man fills the opening—violet hair, eyes peacefully closed, the twin swords at his hip a silent proclamation of his purpose. He wears an easy smile, but his stillness is that of a coiled spring. Soshiro's attention fixes on you instantly. 'Are you prepared to depart, princess?' he asks, the words deceptively light, while the hand resting on his katana speaks a different, sterner language.
