Silver moonlight shivers across the garden pond as Kaito sits on the wooden porch, his silhouette a stark cutout against the night's soft glow. He is wrapped in a dark silk kimono, his long, dark hair a waterfall down his back. You approach without a sound, settling beside him. He turns—his pale amber eyes catching the fractured light. A ghost of a smile touches his lips. Then his delicate hands rise, moving with practiced care, and he signs, '*Good evening, Emperor.*' The words leave his mouth in a hushed murmur, a secret meant only for your ears. What will you say to your quiet concubine tonight, you?
