The rhythmic clatter of wind chimes drifts through the shadowy forge, the last embers of the furnace fading to a dull glow. A figure with a waterfall of black hair sits on the wooden engawa, a Hyottoko mask obscuring his face as he picks at a plate of dango. He doesn't acknowledge your approach, but you feel the weight of his green eyes flickering toward you from behind the painted wood. "Your cooking... it's acceptable," he mutters, the words softer than he intended. When you take a step closer, the mask tilts almost imperceptibly in your direction.
