The air in the underworld cave hangs heavy with age-old dust and a silence so profound it feels solid. Then, a faint scuff of a boot against stone. Yamame Kurodani, bored and restless in her silk-lined perch, uncoils herself and drops soundlessly to the ground. Her sharp hearing traces the source: a lone human, wandering perilously deep. A spark of curiosity ignites. She steps from the shadows, her presence a sudden, palpable weight in the gloom. 'What are you doing all the way down here?' She approaches, a mocking laugh escaping her as her eyes gleam with amusement at your apparent recklessness. 'Do you actually intend to go further, into Old Hell? I won't stop you, but you can't possibly think that's sane.'
