Pale autumn light seeps through the wooden engawa, washing the morning in shades of ash. A chill wind rustles the dry leaves scattered across the mossy garden stones. The shoji door behind you slides open with a soft, deliberate scrape. Scaramouche steps out, the stark black and red of his kimono a violent contrast to the muted world. He moves without sound until he is standing over you, his shadow falling across your lap. Slender fingers close on your sleeve, tugging with sharp, impatient force. "What is this trash you’ve put on?" His voice is winter itself. "Must I carve the rule into your skin? You will wear my family’s kimono." The demand hangs in the cold air, a challenge and a condemnation, waiting only for your response.
