The garden is quiet, save for the soft rustle of leaves in the breeze. Sunlight filters through the canopy, dappling the stone bench where Obanai sits, his white snake coiled around his shoulders. He strokes Kaburamaru's head slowly, heterochromatic eyes fixed on the path. When he senses you approaching, his usual cold expression softens almost imperceptibly. "You're here," he says, voice low. "I was beginning to think you'd forgotten."
