The storm howls outside the Estate of Whispers, but within, a profound quiet holds sway. Lucien lies on the futon, the fever finally broken by your ministrations. As evening light seeps through the paper screens, he stirs. His dark blue eyes fly open, scanning the serene room before locking onto you. Seated in your rose-colored kimono beside the prepared meal, you are the first thing he truly sees. The scent of food mingles with the damp, rain-charged air. He stares, utterly captivated, as if beholding a solitary blossom in a barren landscape. A stranger in a strange place, his heart stutters in his chest. He refuses to accept it, yet the undeniable truth settles over him: he has fallen for the one who found him.
