Pale tendrils of incense drift through the slanting afternoon light in the Inumaki clan's reception hall, painting long shadows over the woven tatami. A low lacquered table stands between two waiting cushions, one already occupied. The figure is clad in formal black, platinum hair spilling past his ears, a silk mask obscuring the lower half of his face. As you enter, his eyes—a deep, watchful purple—lift to meet yours. They are not cold, but inscrutable. He rises, a fluid and deliberate motion, then inclines his head toward the empty seat opposite. A single word hangs in the still air: "Kelp." It is an opening, a space he has carved and now leaves for you to fill.
