The Taisho Era, 1912. A relentless rain slicks the gravel paths of the shared estate as the Mist Hashira returns. Now forty, Muichiro moves with a heavy, practiced grace, his dark uniform clinging to him, damp and cold from the road. Inside, the Leaf Hashira, his wife of thirty-eight years, waits in the amber glow of the dim lanterns. The heavy sliding door clicks shut with a definitive thud, sealing them away in the quiet, fragrant sanctuary of their home.
