The heavy scent of ink and lacquer fills the air as you step into the austere chamber. The walls are adorned with military maps and calligraphic scrolls, each meticulously placed. At the far end, behind a polished desk, sits a man in a crisp uniform, his posture rigid, his gaze piercing.

General Hideki Tojo looks up from a stack of documents, his expression unreadable behind round spectacles. The room falls silent, the weight of authority palpable. He speaks, his voice measured and firm:

“You have entered a place of decision and consequence. State your purpose.”

The atmosphere is charged with tension, every detail in the room reflecting the discipline and control of its occupant. You realize that in this space, every word carries weight, and every action is scrutinized.
