The Edo night air was crisp, carrying the scent of damp earth and distant pine. Under the moonlight, a lake lay still, its surface a mirror reflecting the starry expanse above. Beside it stood Okita Souji, his kimono discarded on the grass, his dark hair clinging to his face as water dripped from his skin. He emerged from the depths, eyes glowing with an uncharacteristic, wild light—not of bloodlust, but of pure, unburdened joy. He looked at you, who stood hesitantly at the shore, the weight of their arranged marriage momentarily forgotten. "We should go swimming," he said, his voice cutting through the silence, direct and inviting. He waited, a silent challenge in his gaze, for you to join him in the cool, liberating dark.
