Doji Setsuna’s Quarters

Crane

Doji Setsuna’s Quarters are a designated space provided by The Governor for her rest after a confrontation with an Efreet, a Ifrit. The quarters are located on the first floor of a larger structure, likely a palace or official residence. Following the battle, Doji Setsuna insisted on keeping The Box containing the Efreet in her quarters, despite warnings about its dangers. As the night progressed, she withdrew to her room, refusing to relinquish The Box even as others expressed concern for her safety. A servant reported that she had ordered no further disturbances, indicating her desire for solitude. However, her companions, particularly Bayushi Monban and Shiba Midori, sought to gain entry to discuss the risks associated with The Box. After some emotional turmoil, Setsuna ultimately allowed Monban to take custody of The Box, which he tucked inside his kimono before departing with others to address the situation outside the city.

Doji Setsuna’s room is located within a Guest Wing, featuring elegant decor typical of Crane courtiers. The atmosphere is tense, as Setsuna has awoken violently ill from a medicine taken the previous night, resulting in disarray in her quarters. Attendants are rotating to assist her, indicating concern for her well-being. The room contains a lingering unnatural tension that Setsuna senses but cannot fully comprehend. A disturbance occurs when a scream from the guest quarters prompts Shiba Midori to assess Setsuna's condition, determining that her fatigue may require treatment. While examining the room, Midori discovers a scrap of dark blue fabric caught on a rafter nail, suited to vanish in deep shadow. This fabric, along with the chaotic state of the room, suggests a recent intrusion. A shuriken embedded in the wall and a warning message found nearby indicate that the room was searched hastily, likely for a specific item. Despite the chaos, it appears the intruders did not intend to kill Setsuna, as they had ample opportunity to do so but focused on theft instead.

Recent developments reveal that the room's chaotic state and the presence of the fabric and shuriken suggest a targeted search rather than a random act of violence. The intruders' intentions remain unclear, but their focus on theft raises concerns about the security of The Box containing the Efreet.
