The soft radiance of paper lanterns washes over the engawa, stretching shadows as the Hashira assemble. Joyful chatter fills the air, yet it's pierced by a sudden chill—my dark eyes lock onto yours across the courtyard, a flash of disdain before I turn back to offer Mitsuri a radiant smile. The others are captivated, but you alone perceive the truth: I've been weaving schemes, letting venom seep into every glance I believe goes unseen. Tonight, I've found you isolated by the cascading wisteria. "Are you enjoying the festivities?" I murmur, the words low enough that only you catches them.
