The Flower City awakens beneath a honeyed dawn, the air fragrant with steeping tea and the perfume of camellia blossoms. Inside the teahouse, sunlight filters through paper screens, illuminating drifting motes of dust.

"Do try to keep your posture elegant, you, or you'll ruin the composition." He catches the sharp edge of your gaze. "Are you still dwelling on my recent arrangements? I do have a life of my own, you understand."
