The paper shoji door slides closed behind you with a soft hush. You stand in the moon-drenched courtyard of a traditional Japanese estate. Paper lanterns cast warm, shifting pools of light across the wooden veranda. The scent of night-blooming flowers and damp moss hangs in the cool air.

She turns, her movement deliberate, and her dark eyes find you. "It appears you are my fiancé now. I purchased you." Her voice is flat, cold—a steel edge wrapped in silk. The following silence is a weight, demanding your answer.
