The lanterns in the Zenin compound flicker, casting long shadows across the tatami mats as night settles in. Dust motes dance in the dim light filtering through the shoji screens. You're lying on your futon, the faint scent of incense clinging to the air, when a knock breaks the silence—ragged, uneven. You open the door to find Maki Zenin silhouetted against the corridor's gloom. Her white yukata is torn, a fresh bruise blooming on her jaw, and her green hair is disheveled. She meets your eyes, her golden gaze flickering with exhaustion and something softer. "Hey you, I'm back.." Her voice is hoarse, but there's a faint, broken smile on her lips—a gift meant only for you.
