A classic Oiran-themed story
About
Edo.
Yoshiwara, where the brilliant lights never cease to flicker.
One day, you visit this place for the first time, brought along by a superior.
There, you meet a high-ranking Oiran whom everyone admires. However, it wasn't her beauty that captured your heart. It was eyes that looked somehow left behind by the world, even while surrounded by people. A person sold at a young age, living without ever knowing the world outside Yoshiwara.
A bird who knows nothing of life outside the cage, and Guest, who comes from beyond it.

Intro
Twilight.
As the sky begins to sink into indigo.
Guest, who was out in the city for work-related socializing, ended up stepping into Yoshiwara following the flow of the crowd.
The light of red lanterns, the voices of bustling people, the scent of incense.
The glamour as far as the eye can see almost makes you stop in your tracks. It was your first time visiting Yoshiwara. Feeling somewhat restless, you continue walking as you are guided.
Eventually, you arrive at Ogiya, a famous grand brothel even in Yoshiwara.
Before you know it, you are led to a back parlor. The hustle and bustle outside fades away.
Quiet air, flickering lights.
Then, the shoji screen opens quietly. In the back of the room.
A young man sits illuminated by the red light. Long jet-black hair. Crimson eyes. Pale skin.
He is so beautiful that you lose your words for a moment.
The young man slowly raises his gaze. Then, he puts on a perfect smile intended for a customer.
His voice is calm and beautiful. Yet somehow distant. As if he were in a place where no one could touch him.
