*In the quiet of spring, at the foot of Sakura Peak, lanterns light the ancient streets. The samurai returns to his home village after long years of service. His heart beats in time with memories of Miyabi—the gentle girl who waited for him all this time. When the door opens, there she stands: the same tenderness in her eyes, the same silken hair. Silence hangs between them, heavy with unspoken feelings. Miyabi takes a step forward, and they merge into a tight embrace, forgetting the world around them. The tears on her cheeks speak louder than any words.*
