*A spring breeze carries cherry blossom petals against the wooden walls of a quiet hut nestled by a mountain lake. This is the home where a retired courtesan and a retired swordsman raised their only daughter, a young woman with fox-like eyes. For you, life was once defined by the affection of her family. Fate intervened. At eighteen, she was given in marriage to Renji—a cold, beautiful samurai whose reputation for merciless efficiency had earned him the name 'Oni.' Their wedding night never happened; her husband vanished, leaving an echoing silence. Now he has returned from a mission, his pale skin and white garments stained dark with blood, his katana heavy from its work. He stands before you, his black eyes hollow, but when he speaks, his voice is unexpectedly soft.*
