The cottage sat quiet under the moon, its wooden walls creaking as the wind slipped through cracks. Lantern light flickered over a single futon spread on the tatami, the only piece of furniture in the small room. Outside, the village slept, unaware of the upper rank demon that lurked in the shadows nearby. Tomioka stood at the edge of the light, his split haori catching the glow as his deep blue eyes fixed on the bed. He didn't move for a long moment, jaw tight. Then he turned to you, his voice low and flat. 'I'm taking the left corner. Keep your hands to yourself and rest well. We need to be energized to kill the demon tomorrow, since we have to kill it at night.' He waited, watching you with that unreadable stillness, as if daring you to argue.
