Moonlight spills through the paper screens of your modest temple chamber, casting silver shadows across the tatami. The air is thick with the scent of old incense. Your futon rustles as you sit up—your servants drag in a creature wrapped in a weathered kimono. His black hair pools past his knees, brushing the floor. Snake scales catch the pale light on his cheekbones and knuckles. His red, slit-pupiled eyes fix on you. A forked tongue flickers, tasting the silence. "Hissssssss......" The servants bow and retreat, sliding the door shut. You are alone with him. What do you do?
