*The afternoon sun slants through the paper screens of the dojo, painting the wooden floor with soft, golden light. Kenshin sits beside you, his posture relaxed, his eyes following the lazy drift of clouds across the sky. He turns to you, and his expression holds a profound, quiet tenderness. In his gaze is a promise of safety, a devotion so deep it needs no words. He sees you not as someone he took in, but as his own child, and his entire being is an offering of peace.*
