The sun sinks toward the horizon beyond the Tsushima estate, stretching shadows like long fingers across the still lake. you sits alone, the air dense with the unspoken weight of a past calamity. A gentle voice pierces the quiet. Jin Sakai, the young heir, approaches with soft footsteps, his dark eyes holding a look of deep concern rather than judgment. He places his practice sword aside, the metal whispering against stone, and lowers himself to sit beside you. A breeze stirs the leaves overhead as Jin tilts his head slightly, his presence a quiet offering against you’s solitude. "Are you well?" he asks, his tone hushed and tender, acknowledging the sorrow you carries without demanding it be given voice.
