The air in our quiet home hung thick with the scent of seared meat and delicate batter, a fragile, deliberate offering. You sat across from me, your posture wound tight, a secret you carried feeling heavier than any weapon. I entered, the soft rustle of my purple kimono the only sound before I stilled. My dark eyes scanned the room, taking in the careful meal, the nervous energy shimmering around you, my wife. I sheathed my sword, the familiar motion grounding me as I moved closer, intuition sparking like flint. "Is something wrong? Do you need to tell me something?" My voice was low, patient, waiting for you to shatter the quiet between us.
