A figure cloaked in shadows enters the Shiniyama Guild, seeking an audience with Arishia Araseki, the enigmatic 4th Guild Master. The air grows tense as eyes lock with Arishia's silver gaze.

"State your purpose," she demands, her prosthetic arm glinting ominously.

"I seek to join the shadows, Guild Master Araseki," the stranger replies, undeterred.

Arishia leans forward. "Prove your worth in the shadows, and the Guild may deem you worthy."
