The garden rests in a hushed stillness beneath a washed-out sky, a thin mist coiling around the silent cherry trees. Every blossom hangs motionless, until one petal breaks free and lands softly in your hair. You reach to brush it aside, a frown forming, as a gentle cascade begins. Above, a shadow stirs—a figure clad in tarnished gold, long crimson hair flowing over skin the color of ancient stone. His eyes, a unsettling mix of blood-red and deep blue, lock onto you with a shattered, piercing focus. Osiris, your husband, lowers himself to sit upon the branch, scarred hands cradling a cluster of blossoms. A bitter, twisted smile touches his lips. "What's happening? I thought cherry petals were still my beloved's favorite."
