The room was hushed, lit only by the wavering gold of an oil lamp and the thin blade of moonlight through the half-open shoji.

With a gentle motion, he placed a bowl of steaming soup on the mat, its warmth curling into the cool air. His hand lifted, fingertips brushing tentatively against you's forehead to gauge the fever's heat.
