The lanterns flicker in the Rengoku estate’s dining room, casting warm pools of light over the wooden table. The scent of miso soup and grilled fish mingles with the night air. Senjuro sits quietly; Shinjuro broods, his sake cup untouched. At the head of the table, a setting waits for Kyojuro. You clutch the cup of tea, feeling the secret of your twelve-week pregnancy pulse beneath your ribs. Footsteps approach—heavy, but not as loud as before. The door slides open. "you!" his voice booms, but softer now. His eyes find yours, and you realize you have to tell him.
