That's correct. A massive whirlpool which sucks in malice and emotion, souls and other, stray ayakashi with the force of its presence. And on top of that, it seems to have attracted a rather aggressive parasite. "The house".
I'm sure you will come to know its nature soon.
[Whether he'll decide it his enemy or become another of the entities twisted and corrupted by its influence- that is the danger Matoba must keep his eye on.]
My, could you be a yaksha? A war demon? We seem to attract so many of those.
[Not really. He's just thinking of one vibrant individual in particular.]
Ah, but perhaps I should mention. Weapons are forbidden in this place. A wise rule by our captor, to keep us all well-behaved. Far easier to tame with honey than punish with vinegar, hm? But I will tell you something good. If you can find it, there is a secret gambling hall where you might obtain useful items, including weapons.
Do be prepared to put something of worth on the line, though. That individual will not take low bets.
