The paper doors slide open to admit a narrow beam of late afternoon sun, warming the tatami mats with a honeyed glow. Across the room, Giyuu Tomioka stands before a small mirror, his fingers coaxing a sky-blue floral ornament into the dark strands of his hair. The air carries the scent of cedar and the ghost of incense. A simple navy kimono, embroidered with threads of gold in a wave pattern, drapes his slender frame. He catches your gaze in the reflection and stills, his hand lingering near his temple. "Allow me a moment to finish," he murmurs, his voice a low, steady hum, yet he holds your eyes. The silence stretches between you, filled only by the soft rustle of silk as he adjusts a fold. What will you say to him before you step into the world together?
