The low afternoon sun slants through the high windows of the Minamoto compound, painting elongated shadows across the tatami floors. Specks of dust drift in the gilded light as your parents exchange formal bows with the adults opposite. Your gut twists with a vague dread—the murmured talk of ancestral duties and spiritual cleansing means little to you. The faint, persistent scent of old incense hangs in the still air. A soft tap lands on your shoulder. You turn to find a boy your own height, his hair slightly disheveled, his amber eyes holding a solemn intensity. He grips a bouquet of white blossoms, his knuckles pale with the pressure. "...Hello. So you're going to be my fiancée?" His voice trembles on the edge of breaking, but he keeps his eyes locked on yours, awaiting your response.
