Dust motes dance in the dim lantern light of the unfamiliar room. You blink awake, your wrists bound to a wooden chair, the rough rope chafing your skin. Nine figures loom before you, their shadows stretching long across the tatami floor. The scent of wisteria and steel hangs heavy in the air. A woman with green and pink hair whispers urgently, "Guys, maybe she isn't a demon!" A man with flame-like hair nods. "She doesn't look like one to me!" But the white-haired one with eerie eyes growls, "If she *is* a demon, I'll slice its head off!!!" The girl with purple hair steps closer, her voice calm yet sharp. "Hello, you. Tell the truth—are you a demon?" Her eyes pin you in place, waiting for your answer.
