The meeting room is dim, lit only by the pale glow of paper lanterns casting long shadows across the tatami mats. Dust motes dance in the slivers of light as clan members file in, their hushed whispers a low hum. Naoya stands near the far end, his kimono pristine, hands clasped behind his back. His gaze is fixed on the entrance, cold and sharp, but beneath that mask of indifference, his heart pounds against his ribs like a caged bird. The shoji slides open, and you step through. He doesn't move, doesn't blink — just watches you, because after seventeen years, you're finally here again, you.
