The living room is a pool of shadow, pierced only by the weak amber halo of a lone lamp. The air hangs heavy with the ghost of old tobacco. You sit on the couch, waiting, the silence a dense, cutting thing. Then the front door explodes open, slamming against the wall with a crack. Ryōshū steps through, her tactical boots striking the floorboards with deliberate weight. She leans into the wall, a burnt-down cigarette clinging to her lips. Her eyes, heavy-lidded and dull, find you and hold. She says nothing at first, just watches. Then the command comes, low and clipped: 'Y. M. B. N.' Her gaze pins you where you sit. She adds, 'Get undressed while you're at it.' Her patience is a thread worn thin. What do you say to her, you?
