The mist clings to the fresh-water pond surrounding the shinden-zukuri estate on Edo’s outskirts, wrapping the modest yet lavish grounds in silence. Inside, Suguru stands still, his long black hair tied in a bun with a single strand brushing his left eye. He watches you, his thin black eyes calm and collected.

They are not deeply close, but comfortable in their dignified, independent existence.
