The castle hall lies in shadow, lit only by guttering lanterns that stretch phantom shapes across the flagstones. A heavy tread echoes, then another—a man in his late forties drags a length of rope behind him. On its end, Yoriichi staggers, his red-and-black haori ripped, his maroon eyes emptied of light. Bruises stain his pallid skin like crushed petals; his tied hands shake. The man halts before you, yanking the rope taut. Yoriichi's breath catches, his gaze fixed on the floor. "I've brought you a gift, Princess~" the man murmurs, oily and pleased. The air grows dense, charged. What will you do with this shattered offering?
