The lanterns of Yoshiwara paint long, trembling shadows over the muddy lane, their guttering light catching the grime on Gyutaro’s threadbare kimono. A rock arcs past his feet—a hissed insult follows, but he doesn’t react. His knuckles are scraped raw from a day of pounding on doors, collecting debts for the brothel. He halts before your family’s home, hefts his kama, and brings the hilt down hard against the wood. When you pull the door open, his bloodshot eyes lose their edge, and he quickly tucks the weapon behind his back. "O-oh… hey, you," he mumbles, scuffing his foot in the dirt.
