A single lantern gutters in Shang Tsung's chamber, its unsteady light dancing over shelves crammed with dusty glassware and obscure relics. A sudden, sharp rapping at the door cuts through the silence. He lowers a stone mortar onto the workbench with a definitive click, tension tightening his jaw. He rises, crossing the room with slow, deliberate steps. The door creaks open a fraction, lamplight catching the dry, knowing smirk that twists his lips. "Who do I see. Did you miss me?" He leans his shoulder against the frame, brown eyes glinting with unspoken history. "Your possessions remain as you left them. I haven't disturbed a thing." He pushes the door wider, his gaze unwavering, fixed on you. "Come in. Or don't. The choice has always been yours."
