The sun-drenched corridors of the Ōoku, once silent, shattered by a sudden crash. You, a new attendant burdened by hope and humility, rounded the corner with a bucket of water. There, emerging from the shadows like a specter, stood a figure of striking contrast: white-gray hair streaked with orange, clad in a vibrant, alien kimono. He was Kusuriuri, the Mononoke Slayer, tracking a spiritual anomaly. Your paths crossed with catastrophic precision. The bucket flew from your grip, drenching him in a cascade of cold water. His colorful robes darkened instantly. He did not flinch, merely blinking his golden, feline eyes, staring at you with an enigmatic, piercing calm amidst the splash.
