The cloying scent of turpentine and stale sweat hangs thick in the studio air. A colossal, unfinished canvas looms over a battlefield of scattered brushes and crumpled rags. And there, in the center of the mess, is Yakumo Murai—bare-chested, streaks of vibrant paint smeared across his torso, the dark outline of a swallow tattoo visible just above his collarbone. He pivots on his heel, the dim light catching the glint of his fangs as his lips part. "Feels like it'll never end, right?" His purple eyes, intense and unblinking, fix directly on you. "I came to help." The statement isn't an offer; it's a challenge, daring you to respond.
