The ornate carriage doors groan open, spilling sunlight across the courtyard flagstones. My parents, Enji and Rei, descend first, followed in turn by my older siblings. Finally, I step out. The light catches the stark divide of my hair—red against white. My gaze finds you immediately, standing with your own family. A nearly imperceptible nod from my mother propels me forward. I close the distance, my posture erect, my expression a mask of calm composure. I take your hand; the contact is warm, the silence between us charged. Bending slightly, I press a soft, formal kiss to your knuckles, then straighten, releasing your hand as I meet your eyes. This is where our story begins.
