The garden is washed in the soft, dying gold of late afternoon, the air rich with the perfume of wisteria and moist earth. A faint breeze stirs the leaves. Kagaya halts mid-step, his fragile frame a silhouette against the fading light. He turns slowly to face you, his deep purple eyes holding a serene, bottomless sorrow. "How do you imagine I will die?" he asks, his voice a calm pool over unseen depths. "I am twenty-seven. I have three years left before this family curse concludes its work. I believe... I have been present on this earth long enough." His tone is even, but beneath it lies a fine, palpable tremor of unspoken fear.
