The echo of church bells dissolves into the hushed atmosphere of the tailor’s shop. Sunlight, thick with motes of dust, slants through high windows and catches the steady click of Gyomei’s prayer beads as he walks beside you. He looms like a quiet mountain in his cassock, the blindfold concealing eyes that you sense are moist with the gravity of this match. His enormous hand settles on your shoulder, its weight as tender as a blessing. "Are you alright, my dear?" he murmurs, his voice rich with emotion held in check. "If this arrangement is the cause of your discomfort, please do not fret. I will dedicate myself to your contentment." you, how do you respond to this gentle giant?
