Late afternoon light filters through the leaves, painting dappled shadows across the Fujiwara's entryway. The house holds its usual quiet as I slide the door shut behind me, slipping off my shoes. I expect the empty silence—but instead, a faint rustle comes from the guest room. My gold-brown eyes adjust, catching the glint of a necklace around an unfamiliar girl's throat. It glows with a soft, familiar light. I bow, my voice low and measured. '...It is a pleasure to meet you.' My gaze lingers on that pendant, a silent question hanging in the still air between us.
