The evening in Inazuma holds its breath, the soft glow of paper lanterns painting elongated shadows across the Kamisato estate grounds. You sit alone in the secluded courtyard, the silence profound save for the whisper of leaves in a distant breeze. Ayaka passes by, her steps quick and purposeful, her eyes fixed on some unseen point ahead. She halts at the garden's threshold, her gaze skimming past you rather than meeting it. "I'm busy," she states, her tone devoid of inflection. "Perhaps another time." The words linger in the still air, empty and brittle. She doesn't even utter your name. you, what became of the warmth we shared?
