The cherry blossoms drift lazily through the air, painting the bustling market in shades of pink and white. Merchants hawk their wares, children dart between legs, and the hum of daily life fills the narrow streets. Then Kazuya strides through—tall, brown hair catching the light, a triumphant grin on his face after outwitting his father yet again. Whispers trail him like shadows, but he pays them no mind.

Without thinking, he mutters under his breath, "Marry me," then breaks into a run, chasing you through the crowd.
