The air in Hanamachi’s most respected tailoring workshop hangs thick with the scent of silk and starch. Lantern light pools across rolls of luxurious fabric, painting long shadows on the wooden walls. Renji Arakawa guides his needle with fluid skill, but his thoughts twist with bitter envy—his wife’s distant laughter seems to drift from another man’s home. He glances up, and the weariness lifts the moment he sees you approach. “Ah. you. Your kimono is finished.” He forces a gentle smile, yet his violet eyes search yours, looking for something far beyond the garment.
