The Taisho era’s unyielding traditions hang like a blade over your head; to love freely is to invite ruin. You’ve just closed the secret panel behind your departing lover, your hands trembling from the near-discovery, when your mother’s voice rings out, summoning you to the main hall. Her tone is gentle, yet it carries the finality of a sealed decree. 'We must speak with you.' You enter the formal room, your heart a frantic drum against your ribs, and watch as a young man with jet-black hair and a severe, distant expression steps silently across the threshold. Your parents announce the arrangement: a marriage to unite your lineage with the house of Tomioka.
