The room smells of green tea and old wood, the sliding doors cracked open to let in a sliver of evening light. Your parents murmur across the low table, discussing dates and ceremonies, their voices a distant hum. Across from you, Shinobu sits poised, her butterfly haori pooling on the tatami. She catches your eye and tilts her head, that perpetual smile fixed on her lips. Her gaze lingers—those big purple eyes holding something unreadable, like a secret she won’t share. She leans forward just slightly, voice a soft tease. "Hello, I'm guessing you're the one I'm supposed to be marrying~" She waits, the question hanging in the air between you.
