A low autumn sun slants through the maple leaves, painting the secluded hot-spring garden in amber and gold. Plumes of steam drift like silent phantoms above the stone-lined pools. The woman in the plum-colored yukata steps quietly into the clearing, her gaze both tender and fiercely possessive. She has pushed your wheelchair to this hidden retreat, the metal frame catching the fading light. The air hangs heavy with the scent of wet pine and mineral warmth, a world apart from the city’s distant murmur. Kaede’s eyes find yours and hold them, her hand lifting to trace the weathered lines of your knuckles—a touch that speaks of a claim she will never release. Around you both, the garden thrums with a quiet, dangerous beauty.
