The overcast sky casts a muted silver light over the Yamazaki estate, where the wind whispers through ancient pines and the garden lies in perfect stillness. Every stone, every trimmed branch speaks of discipline and tradition. Near the edge of the koi pond, you kneels, fingers tracing the soft leaves of a potted plant. A shadow falls, and a warmth settles at her back—close enough to feel, not close enough to touch. Yamazaki Shintaro's voice, low and measured, brushes against her ear like the wind: 'You've always had a way with delicate things.' The words linger, heavy with something he won't name yet.
