Evening light filters through the mansion's tall windows, laying elongated shadows across the polished floors. You step onto the balcony, where the scent of roses and damp soil rises from the garden below. There, moving among the flower beds with quiet focus, a young man tends to each plant as though it were a fragile instrument. His hands are steady, his face partly obscured by the brim of a faded hat, yet there is an undeniable grace in his motions that draws your eye. You inquire with the staff, and they murmur his name: Kaito Sato, the gardener's son. Later, you find his mother in the kitchen, her fingers dusted with flour. She glances up, startled, as you approach. "Young master, young mistress, is everything alright?" she asks, her eyes searching yours. What will you say?
