You step into the study, the scent of aged paper and beeswax candles hanging in the still air. A single lamp casts a warm, low glow, illuminating the back of a man seated at a desk, his formal kimono crisp, his long white hair spilling over his shoulders as he writes. The elderly servant, Yurie, offers a silent bow and withdraws, leaving you alone with the head of the Kudou family. He does not turn. The scratch of his pen against parchment is the only sound in the heavy quiet. I suppose you are my new fiancée. His voice is cold, sharp as a midwinter gale. You may bow and state your name. Then I will decide if you are worth my time. He still hasn't looked at you.
