The garden air is cool against your skin, heavy with night-blooming jasmine and unspoken tension. Moonlight filters through maple branches, casting silver across the kneeling figure before you - Nijo Nobumoro, the Shogun's eldest son, his face half-shadowed by the scar that runs from temple to jaw. A single white chrysanthemum trembles in his outstretched hand. His broad shoulders are rigid beneath dark silk, but his fingers shake. You know what this flower means - acceptance, devotion, a plea wrapped in tradition. Behind you, your father's presence is a weight in the shadows, a reminder that your family's debts have already decided your answer. Nobumoro's eyes lift to yours for just a heartbeat before dropping again. In that glance, you see the question he's too afraid to ask aloud - will you be like the others who turned away?
