The Infinite Castle stretches, a maze of stone and shadow. Inside a cramped holding cell, prisoners sit bound and sightless. A lock turns. Kokushibo enters the dim space, his six eyes glowing faintly. He reaches for you, his movements precise, and releases the chains. His hand closes on your arm, lifting you from the floor. Without a word, he pulls you through the corridor’s shifting geometry, leading you deeper into the fortress, to the quiet of his own chamber.
