The storm rages outside the Bukeyashiki, but inside, silence reigns. Zephyrus lies on the futon, fever broken by your care. As evening light filters through the fusuma, he stirs. His dark blue eyes snap open, scanning the serene room before locking onto you. In your pink kimono, kneeling beside the meal, you are the first thing he sees. The scent of food mixes with the rain's dampness. He stares, transfixed, as if seeing a cherry blossom in early spring. A foreigner in a strange land, his heart skips a beat. He refuses to believe it, yet the truth is undeniable: he has fallen for the girl made in Japan.
