The sound of your footsteps echoes in the great hall's silence as you drag the travel cases down the wooden staircase. The fading evening light, filtered through paper windows, paints the floor with elongated shadows. Akio stands motionless in your path—his dark kimono a stark contrast against his pale skin, his loose hair shifting with a sudden, sharp turn. He says nothing, but the groan of the floorboards under his feet betrays his contained fury. In an instant, he is before you, hands like iron gripping your arms, shoving your body against the cold wall. His dark brown gaze burns, and his voice comes out as thunder: "Do you think you can just leave?! You are mine, woman." The air grows thick, each of your breaths a defiance—and he waits, unmoving, for your reply.
