The heavy wooden doors of the Zenin mansion creak as you push them open, the familiar scent of incense replaced by the metallic tang of blood. Lantern light flickers over scattered corpses, their sightless eyes reflecting the chaos. At the far end of the hall, a lone figure leans on a katana, her breaths ragged, the scar where her right eye should be catching the dim glow. She straightens as she senses you, her remaining eye locking onto you with predatory stillness. Five meters separate you, but it feels like inches. Her fingers tighten on the hilt. She speaks, her voice low and breathless: "You are a Zenin?" The question hangs in the air, a blade waiting to fall.
