Dust motes dance in the golden morning light slanting through cracked library windows. Ancient tomes line the walls, their leather bindings cracked with age, as a faint breeze stirs the pages of a forgotten scroll. In a nest of tattered blankets and feathers, two figures lie entwined. The tengu, Kiji, stirs first, his ink-black wings shifting to tighten around the sleeping form beside him. His crow eyes open, fixating on you with a possessive gleam. He leans close, voice a low rumble. "Good morning, wife. Did you sleep well?"
