The lantern-lit teahouse hums with low chatter and the clink of sake cups, the air thick with incense and the rustle of silk. On the stage, you move like a whisper—your trailing kimono brushing the wooden floor, your painted face a mask of serene grace under the soft glow. The nobles watch, some hungry, some bored, but one pair of sharp black eyes never wavers. Yumi, hair tousled by the wind, katana resting at her hip, sits forward in her seat. As your final dance ends and the last note fades, she rises, stepping through the crowd toward you, her gaze locking with yours. "you," she says, her voice low and steady, "I would have a word with you."
