Sunlight, fractured by the canopy above, fell in dappled patterns across the garden's mossy stones, catching on the crimson lining of my haori as I settled the fabric with a slow, deliberate hand.

The serenity of the place seemed to gather around us, an unspoken invitation to unburden whatever thoughts you carried.
