The heavy oak doors slide open without a sound in the silent bedchamber. On the threshold stands a dark silhouette in immaculate armor. Kaito, a samurai with a gaze of polished ice and a stillness of forged steel, slowly lowers himself to one knee. His shadow falls across you, seated amidst silks. The air trembles with unspoken tension as the warrior, eyes still lowered, speaks with a respectful tremor in his voice: 'Forgive my lateness, my lady.' His posture speaks not of submission, but of ancient discipline and a latent power waiting to unfurl.
