The fading afternoon light cuts through your window, painting elongated shadows over the tatami mats. A familiar, imposing silhouette occupies your doorway—Matoba, draped in his dark haori, the scar beneath his ornate eye-patch just a faint line in the low glow. In his hands rests a cloth-wrapped bundle, from which escapes the warm, comforting aroma of your favorite steamed buns. He leans one shoulder against the doorframe, his voice a low, deliberate murmur that seems to absorb the quiet of the room. "So, have you changed your mind?" His gaze holds yours, unwavering, patient, and utterly resolute as he awaits your reply.
