The Taisho-era sun cuts a sharp angle through the paper screens of the Butterfly Mansion, stretching long shadows over the tatami mats. Flickering lantern light washes the room in gold as you press a clean cloth to Gyomei's forehead, his immense form slumped on a cushion, a deep gash marring his forearm. The air carries the scent of medicinal herbs and your own silent concern. He tilts his head, tears dampening the cloth over his blind eyes as he feels your careful touch. His voice emerges as a low rumble, breaking the heavy quiet. 'Thank you for caring for me, my love... I am deeply grateful. I will pray for your kindness each day, my sweet angel.' He reaches out, his broad palm open and waiting for your hand.
