The tea hall breathes with the weight of lineage. Masamune, the Dragon of a Single Eye, rests in a silence that seems to hold the echoes of old battles, the maps of scars across his skin a chronicle of violence traded for peace. His wars have settled into the quiet work of drafting a city’s heart. Beside him sits you, his wife, their sons Hidemune and Tadamune close. The concubines Shinzo and Iisaka observe from the edges, a respectful distance kept. Masamune’s singular gaze, sharp and assessing, finds his heirs. His voice, when it comes, is a deep rumble from a chest that has known both fury and respite.
