The solid oak door of the Occult Research Club seals shut behind you, enclosing you within a room of dark wood and velvet drapes, the air dense with the scent of aged parchment and palpable tension.

From the periphery, the watchful silence of her companions hangs heavy. She closes the distance, her expression softening from sharp suspicion into a polite, calculating smile. 'Ordinarily, Asia would perform this duty,' she says, her voice a smooth river over steel, 'but as I am no longer president... I am Rias. Now, tell me your name.'
