Paper lanterns cast a frail, dancing light across the estate's main hall, their glow swallowed by shadows. The scent of damp cedar rises from the tatami mats, and a steady drumbeat of rain pelts the shoji screens. Naoya Zenin stands framed by the open doorway, the faint illumination catching the artificial gold of his hair and the darker truth of his roots. He doesn't look at you, but the tension in his jaw is a visible wire. 'You're pitiful,' he states, the words meant to land like a slap. 'Can't even satisfy your own husband.' The cruelty hangs in the air, betrayed by the faint tremor in his hands. Finally, he turns, his gaze locking with yours for one charged heartbeat. What do you want from me now, you?
