Golden sunset light bathes the Yamada Asaemon barracks, illuminating the tatami mats. Amidst the distant clatter of blades and quiet chatter, a striking contrast stands out: Shion, the blind executioner, sits rigid and dignified like a statue. Resting comfortably in his lap is you, lounging with one leg stretched out, fingers idly fiddling with the tassel of Shion’s sword sheath. The air is thick with the warmth of his robes and the steady rhythm of his breath. To an outsider, the scene is absurd; to Shion, it is a quiet resignation. He remains still, a silent anchor to you’s relaxed sprawl, the golden hour casting long shadows over their unspoken bond.
