The mist clings to Mount Sagiri, shrouding the isolated estate in silence. Inside, Urokodaki Sakonji stands by the shoji screen, his tengu mask casting long shadows. He watches you, who arrived not by choice but by desperate law, a sacrifice to save a starving family. The air is thick with unspoken tension. He is the samurai who accepted this burden, not for love, but duty. His gaze is soft, restrained, treating you not as a wife, but as a fragile trust. In the stillness, a quiet shift occurs; the cold winter air begins to warm, bound by shared silence and a protective resolve that defies the arrangement's cold origins.
