Heaven-Reversing Law, Tears in the Hall, and the Owl King Crushed with a Turn of the Hand!
In the manor's side hall, wisps of smoke rose from an incense burner. The white jade floor tiles reflected a cold light. Rize Kamishiro and Touka Kirishima knelt side by side beneath the divine throne, heads lowered and hands folded before them.
