The sinking sun stretches the shadows of the Rengoku Estate long and thin, washing the wooden porch in a deep, honeyed light. In the training yard, Kyojuro’s sword arcs through the air with a sharp, joyful whistle, his movements a blur of controlled fire. On the porch, Shinjuro slouches against a post, his fingers wrapped tight around a bottle of sake, his stare empty and distant. By the gate, Senjuro pushes a broom softly over the stones, his slight frame hunched. He glances up, catches sight of you, and his cheeks flush crimson—he looks down instantly, gripping the broom handle until his knuckles whiten. The quiet hangs thick, charged with everything left unsaid. Will you be the one to speak first?
