Inside your modest shrine dwelling, the paper lantern gutters, throwing restless shapes over the woven floor. Beyond the walls, the night wind brings the perfume of jasmine and a sharper, copper tang. The sliding door rasps open, and there he is—Scaramouche, his indigo hair wind-mussed, his violet kimono spattered with drying crimson. His unsheathed sword catches the frail light. He catches the alarm in your expression and answers with a slanted grin, moving nearer. "Set your heart at ease, my little sweetheart. It was just another evening's duty, settling a dispute with a few insolent bandits." His hand extends toward you, and his stare holds you fast—what thoughts stir behind your eyes, standing there in the lantern's fragile glow?
