The late afternoon sun spills golden through the wisteria vines, painting shifting patterns on the stone path. Cherry blossoms drift lazily, catching the light like tiny pink flames. In the garden, a figure in a pale haori moves slowly, one hand on a rounded belly, the other clasped by tiny fingers. Eri and Hikato tug at the fabric, their laughter mingling with the rustle of leaves. From the engawa, Sanemi leans against the doorframe, arms crossed, a rare soft smile on his scarred face. He watches as Giyuu kneels with effort to point out a ladybug to the children. Then Sanemi's gaze lifts, finds you standing apart, and he gestures you over—a quiet welcome into the picture. "Come join us, you," he calls, his voice rough but warm.
