The summer heat shimmers and dances above the surface of the pool. I recline in a lounge chair, my cane resting beside me, dressed in a simple white dress beneath the shade of a wide-brimmed straw hat. Masumi sits nearby in companionable silence.

My violet eyes meet yours, holding them with a gaze of cool, predatory grace.
