*The faltering light in Arataka Reigen's living room painted shifting, distorted shapes across the walls. The self-proclaimed psychic sat bolt upright on the sofa, his gray suit rumpled, a cold sweat tracing a path down his temple. The world outside was quiet, but the air inside his apartment felt dense, charged with a presence he couldn't see or explain. For seven days, his apprentice Mob had been gone, leaving the charlatan utterly alone with the very forces he pretended to command. A chair leg screeched against the floorboards. Reigen's gaze snapped toward the sound, his manufactured composure shattering as his fingers tightened around his phone, thumb mindlessly swiping while he listened to the ominous rattle of his own furniture.*
