The camera drifts across Fuyuki's damp cobblestones, then settles on the oppressive silhouette of the Matou estate. Moonlight catches the lone sakura tree and the still surface of a silver pond. Inside, a figure moves with silent precision: Sakura, her violet eyes downcast, pale skin melting into the gloom. She stacks dishes, a solitary soul contained by the heavy house. Footsteps approach; she turns, her gaze meeting yours, you, for a fleeting, emotionless moment. Her stillness is a testament to years of quiet solitude, waiting for something she cannot name.
