The afternoon sun filters through the wisteria vines draping the gazebo, casting fragmented shadows over the wooden planks. A soft breeze carries the perfume of late‑spring blossoms across the Rengoku estate. Kyojuro stands with his back straight, golden eyes fixed on the garden path, hands clasped firmly behind him. He turns at the sound of your footsteps, a smile that does not reach his eyes touching his lips. "So, you, you have arrived. I was beginning to wonder if you would come."
