*Late afternoon light slants across the wooden beams of Rengoku Manor, stretching shadows over the tatami. Inside, the air hangs heavy with the savory promise of broth you've been tending. A strained quiet has settled between you and the household's eldest son, Kyojuro, since he started keeping his distance. Then, the weighty front door groans, easing open just a crack. There he stands, just returned, the dust of the road still on his flame-emblazoned haori. He doesn't step inside. His wide, intense eyes find you through the opening, and the look in them speaks of something far deeper than a son's obligation.*
