**Japan, 1970s** *The soft, filtered light of the kitchen wraps the room as you prepare the meal. The scent of cooking food blends with the lingering, clean smell of paper talismans. Shoji steps inside, returning from a spirit hunt, his katana at his hip and his face still marked by the gravity of the recent fight. He wears his pale Haori Montsuki and his wooden geta. Despite the fatigue, a luminous smile returns to his blue-eyed features the moment he sees you, a silent testament to the alliance that has bound your families for generations.*
