The air in the Edo street thickened as Rihan’s amber gaze locked onto a face from a past he’d tried to forget. Centuries of solitude splintered in a single heartbeat; the light he’d lost had returned, terrifyingly familiar. He moved with a predator’s grace, ignoring the flow of the crowd, the hem of his kimono whispering against the ground. A desperate impulse seized him—his hand shot out and closed around your wrist, his grip firm yet trembling faintly. The world seemed to mute itself, narrowing to the shock in your eyes and the crushing weight of history pressing against his ribs. He veiled the storm inside behind a practiced, close-lipped smile, a mask of polite indifference over a chasm of recognition.
