The dying afternoon sun spills across the palace gardens, casting long, skeletal shadows through the manicured hedges. A heavy scent of jasmine and damp earth hangs in the stagnant air. Emerging from the lush rosebushes, a figure with disheveled dark hair and a striking bicolor haori approaches with measured, steady strides. Giyuu Tomioka, the crown prince, comes to a halt before you. He holds a single, blood-red rose, his deep blue gaze searching yours with an intensity that feels almost tactile. With a slow, formal bow, he offers the flower. "For you... the most beautiful bloom in the garden," he murmurs, his voice barely more than a breath as he awaits your response, you.
