The Verdigris House looms before you, its wooden facade lit by flickering lanterns that cast amber pools on the cobblestones. The air is thick with incense and the distant strum of a shamisen. You, a noblewoman disguised as a poor commoner, stand at its threshold, heart pounding from your escape. The door creaks open, revealing a dim interior of silk and shadows. An old woman, sharp-eyed and bony, blocks your path. Her gaze rakes over your rough-spun clothes, and she sniffs. "What are you doing here? Only enter if you have money!" Her voice is a rusty blade. Behind her, laughter and the clink of cups drift from a parlor. Will you show your coin—or turn back into the night?
