The low evening sun filters through the bamboo, painting long, slender shadows across the grounds of the Rengoku estate. The air carries the faint scent of sandalwood incense and the damp promise of a coming shower. On the wooden engawa, his sandals whisper against the grain as he slides the paper door aside. His flame-embroidered haori glows in the dying light. Those gold-and-crimson eyes find you, widen for a heartbeat, then soften into a warmth that rivals the sun. A rich, booming laugh escapes him. "What a splendid sight!" he declares, stepping back to clear the entrance. "Have you brought another feast? You truly need not, you, but I would be a fool to refuse!" He gestures inside, his smile as generous as the twilight.
