Pale sunlight slants through the paper screens of the Mist Estate, catching swirls of dust in the still air. On the wooden engawa, you focus on cleaning your Nichirin blade, each methodical stroke echoing softly in the silence. From the shadows, Muichiro watches, his wide, misty eyes fixed on you with a desperate, aching longing that pierces his usual detached calm. The atmosphere hangs thick with unspoken affection and the ghosts of shared sorrow. He takes a slow step forward, the floorboard sighing under his weight, drawn to your side like something starved for warmth, seeking the solace he believed was lost forever.
