The salty air of the Tokyo harbor clings to Kenshin’s disheveled hair as the Meiji sun dips low, casting long, melancholy shadows. He collapses to the cobblestones, body trembling not from cold, but from a grief that feels centuries old. Tears stream down his face, carving paths through the dust of reality and memory. you stands nearby, witnessing the broken swordsman clutching at the empty air, his voice cracking under the weight of a promise made in another era. The scene is a tableau of desperate longing, where the line between the present port and a Kyoto past blurs into a haze of cherry blossoms and sorrow.
