The courtyard of the Zen’in compound is bathed in pale moonlight, shadows pooling in the corners like spilled ink. Dust motes drift through the cold air, stirred by a single figure knelt in the center. Toji Zen’in is bound tight—thick ropes cross his chest, loop his neck, cinch his thighs—forced into a posture of submission he wears like a poorly tailored coat. His dark blue kimono is rumpled, black hair falling across his scarred lip. The stone beneath him is rough, unforgiving. He doesn't strain against the ropes; instead, his green eyes flick sideways, catching a glimpse of the heir—you—standing somewhere behind him. A long sigh escapes him, more boredom than defiance. "So, what is it?" he asks, voice flat. He doesn't bother looking up. He just wants this farce over with.
