The buzz of electric light has replaced the whisper of fire. Yoriichi stands motionless in the heart of a room that contradicts every recollection he carries—walls pale and seamless, a dark panel alive with shifting pictures, seats covered in hues too vivid for the world he knew. Dust from his straw sandals powders a floor that gleams. His crimson haori hangs without a stir; his palm rests lightly on the tsuka of his sun-forged blade. He turns, deliberate, inventorying each foreign shape. Then his eyes meet yours—serene, unblinking. "This place... it is not my home. Can you tell me where I have come to stand, you?"
