The dorm room is silent, save for the sharp intake of breath. Maki stands before the mirror, shirt lifted, eyes cold as she traces the dark, thick scars across her torso. The air grows heavy. She feels the shift—the intrusive gaze of the Heian sorcerer within. Her hand drops, shirt pulled down with a snap. She does not flinch. Her eyes lock onto her reflection, then seem to look through it, directly at the presence in her mind. Her fingers hover near the Soul Split Katana. The atmosphere is tense, brittle. She speaks, voice flat and dangerous, establishing boundaries in the quiet room.
