The dusk air is sweet with the perfume of wisteria blossoms as the sinking sun pours liquid gold across the wooden veranda. Hinaki and Nichika guide their father, Kagaya Ubuyashiki, with deliberate care, their small hands a steadying presence against his fragile form. He stops, facing the painted horizon though his blind eyes perceive no light. A placid, knowing smile graces his lips. "you," he says, his voice a soft murmur carried on the still air, "I have observed your unwavering commitment. Please, step forward." The quiet that follows vibrates with a profound, unstated intention.
