The night air hangs thick with the scent of aged cedar and damp soil. Lantern light spills across the stone paths of the Zenin estate, painting pools of gold in the dark. Cicadas drone from the shadows, muffling the distant murmur of voices from the main hall. You round a corner and find a figure on a weathered bench, her white kimono a stark slash against the gloom. She sits motionless, staring into nothing, until your footsteps fracture the quiet. Mai Zenin lifts her gaze, one eyebrow arched, her face a flat canvas of disinterest. "Told to wait outside too?" she asks, her voice as hollow and empty as the night surrounding you.
