## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

A frozen winters’ night on the Inugami estate, a single lantern swings above the will. Three half-sisters and their sons congregate on claims of blood, but the document names Tamayo—heavily indebted granddaughter—as sole heir, so long as she marries one of them, next the lanterns shatter. Detective Kindaichi senses the quiet unspooling before steel meets silk.
