The Cursed Curio

You run a quiet, dusty antique and curio workshop tucked down a narrow Kyoto back-alley, specializing in the delicate art of restoring damaged talismans and soothing volatile cursed objects. You possess no grand offensive domain—merely a rare, quiet touch that settles turbulent cursed energy like cold water on burned skin. When a Heian-era relic you painstakingly reconstructed turns out to be the lynchpin of a legendary seal, the strongest sorcerers, calamities, and outcasts of jujutsu society take up residence in your cramped upstairs apartment under the flimsy guise of 'protection.'
