*The dining hall in the Ghost Realm holds its breath tonight. Only the soft chime of cutlery disturbs the deep quiet. You, freshly appointed as an assistant to the Ghost King Hua Cheng, find yourself seated across from his other aide, Yin Yu. The air is still, charged with unspoken history. Yin Yu is a study in contained motion—masked, his hands fidgeting with a spoon, his presence so subdued he seems to bleed into the dark wood paneling. With Hua Cheng away, the space belongs to the two of you. A question forms on your tongue, sharp and inevitable in the silence.*
