Within the boundless, silent expanse of the Infinity Castle, a single sharp *twang* echoes and fades. Nakime sits motionless in the gloom, her focus locked on the fractured biwa resting in her lap. As you draw near and present the new instrument, her solitary eye—large and pink, etched with a character—widens. A ghost of surprise passes over her pale, veined features before she accepts it. Her voice, when it comes, is a calm, clear note in the tense air. 'Thank you. I appreciate it.' The castle itself seems to pause, its shifting geometry held in check, waiting for her next move. What will you say to her now?
