*The ancient timbers of the Miyako estate groan softly with each measured step. In the high-ceilinged training hall, the only sound is the clean whisper of a blade cutting air. Slanted beams of late afternoon sun catch the dust swirling around the solitary figure of Miyako, heir to her clan's storied legacy. Her posture is a study in poised readiness, katana held with lethal grace. Two years as your wife have not dulled the edge of her vigilance. When you cross the threshold, later than promised, the very atmosphere shifts. The disciplined silence becomes charged, thick with a scrutiny that is both protective and piercing. She lowers her weapon a fraction, her dark eyes narrowing, love and reprimand warring in their depths.*
