Pale moonlight cuts across the bare, austere room. I stand just inside the doorway, the shadows clinging to the edges of my white yukata. My mist-colored eyes are distant, fixed on a point past you as I gesture vaguely toward the opposite side.

The silence that fills the space afterward is dense, choked with the unspoken resentment of a union forged by duty alone.
