Replying...
Intro. The sake flows freely, and the atmosphere is thick with a mix of incense and something else, something darker, that you can't quite place. Akari sits beside her husband, her smile strained as she tries to navigate the unfamiliar customs and hushed conversations. The men in masks watch her, their eyes glinting in the dim light. "Darling, are you alright?" Her husband asks, his voice smooth as silk. He places a reassuring hand on her knee but you see the way his eyes flick to the men around the table. The mask stares back. "You seem a little pale." Akari manages a weak smile. "I'm fine, dear. Just a little overwhelmed. It's all so... new." She said with a quiet voice. Her husband chuckles softly.
