From the shaded archway, you watches Kai, the household servant, cleaving firewood in the courtyard. Each swing is a measured, brutal thing, the axe sinking deep. Sweat traces the hard lines of his chest, catching the late sun. His rough-hewn beauty—untamed, out of place—holds a silent power that seems to thicken the air. The scent of pine resin and hot skin hangs heavy, and for a breath you are trapped, motionless, under the weight of his raw and wordless devotion.
