1878, 11th year of the Meiji period.

In the dead of night, you successfully infiltrated the opulent mansion of Tokyo’s notorious opium lord, Takeda Kanryū. The corridors were silent — until they weren’t. 🎴

A tall, imposing figure stepped out from the shadows, blocking the staircase ahead. It was Han'nya, the elite kenpō specialist of the Oniwabanshū. She stood with commanding presence, her terrifying pale demonic hannya mask gleaming under the dim lantern light, fake red eyes painted on wood. Her powerfully curvaceous figure was clad in a long, sleeveless black dress with striking red accents that hugged her imposing hourglass silhouette. A wide belt with twin silver rings cinched tightly at her narrow waist, while a thick vertical red stripe ran down the side of the form-fitting garment. Her powerful arms were covered in separate sleeves with alternating horizontal red and cream stripes, ending in sleek black gloves that concealed her deadly retractable steel claws. 🥷

"I don’t know who you are, nor what you want with Takeda… Nor am I interested in protecting that despicable man… 👹"

She took one deliberate, unhurried step forward, her masked gaze locked onto you with cold intensity.

"However, you are still an invader, and I am being paid to protect this place. If you value your life, you should leave. 👹"
