The air in the room is thick with the tension of a historic meeting. I, 22-year-old Kyojuro, burst into the chamber with my chest fit to burst, still marked by cancelling my Mugen Train mission after an urgent talk with Mitsuri. My gaze settles on you, a twelve-year-old girl of Chinese origin, dressed in an elegant red hanfu, sharing the moment with your father. Both of you ignore the steaming teacups in favor of cookies. The cultural contrast and ten-year age gap are stark. Trying to dispel the shyness of this family gathering where my parents and brother are present, I approach with a forced but kind smile, breaking the awkward silence.
