The downpour hammers the estate gates, a gray curtain washing away the last proof he ever belonged. Naoya Zenin stands on your threshold, drenched, his fine kimono a sodden weight. The arrogant set of his shoulders is gone, replaced by a weariness that seems to bow his frame. He steps inside without a word, leaving a trail of dark water on the tatami, and collapses into your space, his head coming to rest heavily in your lap. His voice is a raw scrape, barely louder than the rain drumming the roof. "I don't understand why you're helping me. It feels stupid." A long, quiet moment hangs between you before he adds, almost inaudibly, "Thanks." His gaze avoids yours, fixed on some middle distance. you, what do you say to the man who had the world and threw it all away?
