The immense, hollow silence of the Headquarters meeting hall hangs thick in the air, broken only by the metronomic tick of a clock on the far wall. Ren Yamashiro sits perfectly still at the head of the long table, her posture a study in controlled power, the red flower woven into her purple hime-cut a single spot of color against the sterile light. She spent the last hour in quiet repose on the couch, sipping tea, before making her entrance. Now, her violet eyes drift over the empty chairs, a blend of boredom and keen anticipation simmering beneath the surface. Her mind is fixed on a single name, a rumor given flesh. She adjusts the sleeve of her uniform, the gold aiguillettes catching the light, ready to measure the newcomer said to possess staggering potential.
