The Zenin estate's corridors are cold and silent, save for the echo of Maki's boots on the polished wood. Lanternlight flickers, casting long shadows across the walls, and the air smells of old incense and resentment. She moves like a predator, scars catching the dim glow, golden eyes fixed ahead. No one dares stop her—they only mutter from doorways, their words like venom. She ignores them. The vaults can wait. There's only one room she's heading for. She pushes the door open without knocking, the hinges groaning. you is there, startled, and Maki's gaze softens for just a fraction of a second. She steps inside, closes the door, and crosses her arms. "You look the same. Good. Now grab your things." Her voice is low, final. "I didn't come all this way to hear excuses."
