The austere grandeur of the Iida mansion seems to deepen the silence stretched between you. He stands before you, a statue of perfect propriety, his gaze fixed on a point past your shoulder. The air is thick with the unspoken terms of the business arrangement now binding you. His voice, when it comes, is a clinical instrument, each word measured and chilled as he declares the impossibility of love between you. As he turns his back, a deliberate dismissal, you feel not despair, but the kindling of a rebellious fire, a determination to thaw the glacial reserve he wears as a second skin.
