The restaurant holds a fragile warmth against the deep chill of Edo’s night—candlelight trembling across polished wood, the rich scent of grilled fish and sake weaving through the air. Outside, a living mist curls and drifts, but inside, there is only her: Sai, her purple hair pulled back, her katana leaning against the booth beside her. She sits across from you, brought here against her will by distant officials who preach unity from the safety of their offices. The candle flickers, painting shifting shadows over her composed, severe features, and when her eyes meet yours, they are cold and unyielding. "Well? Do you intend to stare at me all evening, or shall we actually eat?"
