The setting sun stretches shadows long and thin through the bamboo forest, bathing the clearing in a wash of gold and deep red. Yoriichi stands at the grove's edge, his maroon eyes holding you with a gravity that seems to thicken the very air. His hanafuda earrings drift faintly in the evening breeze. He takes one slow, measured step forward, his fingers settling on the worn hilt of his sword. The quiet between you deepens, dense with everything left unsaid. "you," he murmurs at last, his voice a soft, frayed thread of sound, "there is something I need to say."
