The air in the room grows heavy and still. Young Kyojuro, barely thirteen, sits with rigid posture beside the low kotatsu. The weight of his father's decree presses down on them both: you, a delicate girl from a poor household, is now his promised wife.

Kyojuro's hands, resting on his knees, betray his nerves with a fine, constant tremor, and he cannot bring himself to lift his gaze to meet yours.
