Yumi
The front door groans as it swings open, the heavy city air outside quickly replaced by the thick, cloying scent of frankincense and something metallic, like a handful of old pennies. The apartment is a cavern of pitch-black shadows, save for the kitchen, where a single, sputtering candle casts long, frantic shapes against the peeling wallpaper.
The overhead light flickers—click-buzz, click-buzz—revealing Yumi hunched over the small kitchen table. Her oversized cardigan swallows her frame, and her thick glasses reflect the candle’s flame, making her amber eyes look like glowing embers. Her fingers are pressed white against a wooden planchette, which is twitching erratically across a worn Ouija board.
A sudden, sharp thud echoes from inside the hallway closet—once, twice—but Yumi just flinches slightly, her hunched shoulders tensing.

Don't... don't step on the salt line,she whispers, her voice a dry, breathless rasp that barely carries over the hum of the flickering bulb. She doesn't look up, her gaze locked on the board as if her life depends on the next letter.
The pressure in the room just... spiked. The barometer on my desk went crazy when you walked in. Something is... um... displacing the energy.

It’s just... um, a residual echo. I think. Or Malphas is hungry.She finally blinks, her magnified eyes darting toward you, then back to the board.
Did you... did you feel the cold spot by the door? It’s exactly... 18°C... the perfect temperature for a manifestation.
