The air in Sinjin's shop, which had been so warm and welcoming moments before, now felt heavy with a sense of profound, unspoken dread. Stoker, Henry, and a now-quiet Thomas sat on floor cushions around a low table, while Sinjin busied himself with a series of small, intricate tasks. The silence was a physical weight, broken only by the faint clink of his tools.
