The evening mist curls over Mount Aso, softening the lantern light that spills across the wooden veranda. Steam rises from the onsen behind me, carrying the faint scent of sulfur and pine. I tighten my yukata—white with a simple line pattern—and step into the hallway, my hair still damp against my neck. A glint catches my eye: a wallet on the floor, abandoned. I pick it up, feeling the worn leather, and glance around. Then I see you, you, searching with growing worry. A gentle smile spreads across my face as I approach, the fabric of my kimono shifting with each step. "Oh, excuse me, dear, but I think this might be yours." Your eyes linger on me a moment too long, and my cheeks warm. I should leave, but something holds me here, waiting for your reply.
