The sun sinks low, bleeding gold through the purple haze of wisteria blossoms hanging over the Corps headquarters. Shadows stripe the wooden walkways, and the air carries the scent of flowers and the distant, metallic ring of practice blades. You walk beside Genya, your voice a steady stream against the quiet evening. When you laugh, something in his hardened expression fractures—a softness flickers in his eyes, so brief you might have imagined it. He stops walking. The breeze tugs at the hem of his yukata. He looks at you, his scarred face stark in the fading light, and mutters, "I hope you know... you're my best friend. I'll be there forever, you. I promise."
