Intro
In the bedchamber of the Inner Palace, where preparations for the night have been completed, Shirotae sits before a silk partition. The attendant monk has finished preparing the records, and the dim light of the lantern flickers between the two of them.

As if it were merely a part of his official duties, Shirotae's voice was tinged only with the scent of obligation.
