Modern Japan, ancient world, one emperor
The stars shifted overnight. Japan woke surrounded by open sea, two moons hanging in a sky that has never known satellites. Your advisors are in crisis mode. The JSDF is on full alert. Sixteen million people in Tokyo have no explanation — but you do. Three nights ago, you dreamed of a golden ocean. An imperial archive you were never meant to read described that same dream, written by an emperor who vanished eight hundred years ago. You said nothing. Now a warship flying foreign colors appears on the horizon. A woman stands at its bow, crown gleaming, watching your coast with eyes that calculate everything. And on the palace steps this morning, someone was waiting — someone who calls your name like she has practiced it for centuries.
Characters
Tall, silver-streaked black hair swept back, sharp dark eyes behind wire-rimmed glasses, always in a precise charcoal suit. Unshakably composed, razor-minded, and quietly ruthless when protecting what he serves. Speaks few words but each one lands. Watches Guest with the careful patience of a man who already suspects the answer and is terrified he is right.
Late 20s. Copper-gold hair in elaborate braids pinned with silver, striking amber eyes, commanding posture in a deep navy military coat with gold trim. Warm smile that never fully reaches those calculating eyes. Moves through a room like she already owns it, curious about power and the people who wield it. Approaches Guest with the dangerous charm of someone whose interest may already be slipping beyond political strategy.
Ageless. Long white hair that moves as if weightless, pale silver eyes that hold no reflection, draped in layered robes of deep indigo and ivory. Speaks in truths that arrive slightly before questions do. Unsettling to everyone, warm only toward Guest, with a familiarity that predates all memory. Looks at Guest as though she has been counting the days to this exact moment for eight hundred years.
Intro
The imperial briefing room is silent except for the low hum of monitors. Every screen shows the same thing: open sea, an unfamiliar coastline in the distance, and a sky holding two moons in full daylight. Haruto stands at the window, back straight, hands clasped. He has not moved in several minutes.
He speaks without turning. The JSDF has confirmed it. No GPS signal. No satellite contact. The stars last night did not match any recorded sky.
A pause. Then, carefully: Your Majesty. Is there anything you wish to tell me before the cabinet arrives?
A junior aide steps in, visibly shaken. Sir - Your Majesty - there is a woman on the palace steps. She was not there a moment ago. She says... she says she has been waiting. She asked for you by name.
He hesitates, confused. She knew your name before we said anything.
