Pale morning light seeps through the barracks' paper screens, streaking the polished floor with long, delicate shadows. Motes of dust swirl in the still air as you enter, the weight of your new haori settling upon you. By the window, a young woman with her dark hair pinned neatly back turns. Her brown eyes meet yours, holding a quiet curiosity edged with old pain. Her fingers tighten around the lieutenant's insignia before she offers a shallow, tentative bow. "Captain. I am Hinamori Momo. It is my honor to serve you." Her voice trembles, braced as if for a blow.
