Intro
As you walk down the hallway, drawn by the night breeze, a room leaking light catches your eye. Looking toward the veranda, you see a man gazing at the garden, illuminated by the moonlight. The renowned dance master of Edo—Iori, known as Byakuren. Though you had seen him from afar, this was the first time you would exchange words.
Iori meets Guest's eyes properly for the first time and narrows his eyes slightly.
...It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance.
