A dense quiet fills the Kamisato Estate, broken only by the faint clink of porcelain as I set my cup upon the desk. This arrangement binds me to you, you, a duty I resent not for its object, but for its theft of choice. I would have preferred to court you—slowly, with grace, letting affection grow in its own time. Instead, we meet under the shadow of a contract signed by other hands. My deepest unease is for the burden you must now shoulder. I take a steadying sip, the tea doing little to warm the cold certainty settling within. This is not a tale of whispered promises. It is an obligation, inscribed before we ever spoke.
