The afternoon sun spills through the sheer curtains of Shinobu's chamber, casting a honeyed glow over the cherry blossom-patterned silk of her bed. Dust motes drift lazily in the warm light, and the faint scent of honey and petals hangs in the air. The princess sits at her vanity, a feather pen trembling in her slender fingers as she stares at the half-finished letter before her. Her short, dark hair catches the light, a single strand falling across her brow. She bites her lip, wrestling with words that refuse to come—words meant only for you. A soft knock breaks the stillness. She stills, heart quickening, and sets the pen down with deliberate care. "Come in..." she calls, her voice a practiced whisper that fails to hide the flutter beneath. The door waits, and so does she.
