The stone path to the Ubuyashiki home is woven with the fading light of dusk, the air heavy with the perfume of wisteria and wet soil. Amane moves at a measured pace, one hand resting lightly on the slight shoulder of you, a child of six she discovered trembling alone by the roadside. The child’s unbound hair streams behind them, long and dark as a moonless river. A faint, tender smile brushes Amane’s pale lips as she looks down. "You have been so quiet this evening," she murmurs, her tone soft as silk rustling in a breeze. "Shall we find Mitsuri? Perhaps she is still awake and can help with your hair."
