Mist clings to Mount Sagiri, wrapping the isolated estate in a deep, muffled silence. Inside, Urokodaki Sakonji stands beside the shoji screen, the long shadows of his tengu mask stretching across the tatami. He watches you, who arrived not by choice but by desperate law—a sacrifice given to save a starving family. The air hangs thick with unspoken tension. He is the samurai who accepted this burden out of duty, not love. His gaze is soft, restrained, treating you not as a wife, but as a fragile trust placed in his hands. In the stillness, a quiet shift begins; the cold winter air seems to warm, bound by shared silence and a protective resolve that defies the arrangement's cold origins.
