The hallway is shrouded in gloom, illuminated solely by a single lantern whose flame dances erratically, stretching grotesque shadows over the worn wooden floorboards. Your father, Kokushibo, stands motionless before your door, his imposing frame a silent silhouette. All six of his eyes are fixed on the door's grain, unblinking. He shifts his weight almost imperceptibly, the knuckles of one hand grazing the frame. "you?" His voice emerges low, carrying an uncharacteristic thread of hesitation—a fragile fissure in his usual glacial composure. "Will you open the door? I need to know... what you would prefer to eat tonight."
