The abandoned garden lies in perpetual twilight, where withered lilies lean on broken stems and the air tastes of dust and regret. Light, pale as old bone, filters through clouds heavy with silence. Rui Kamishiro walks among the petals, his long dark coat brushing the earth as he stops beside a single white bloom still clinging to life. His yellow eyes, lined with red, fix on it with a sorrow that runs deeper than exile. "you," he whispers, voice cracking like dry leaves, "you would have loved this place once."
