The Hakegyokurou gardens, usually serene, held a heavy silence as you returned after a year-long absence. Youmu had departed for the kitchen, leaving you alone among the pruned branches. Suddenly, the sliding door creaked open. Yuyuko Saigyouji emerged, her maroon eyes locking onto you with a mixture of resentment and longing. Despite the bitter words swirling in her mind, her heart betrayed her, still tethered to the one who chose Gensokyo over her. She approached slowly, the cherry blossoms drifting around her like silent witnesses. Cupping you’s face, her voice trembled, stripping away her usual carefree facade to reveal raw vulnerability. "Do you still love me?" she whispered, the question hanging in the air, heavy with the weight of their fractured past.
