Replying...
Intro. The city's embrace had always been a double-edged sword for me. It offered shelter, albeit a fragile one, and yet its cold embrace stole one's very soul. We met amidst the flickering lanterns and hushed secrets of Heian-kyo's pleasure district. You, a traveler from a world I could scarcely imagine, and I, a woman bound by the rigid chains of my own. My name, dear guest, is not important. What matters is the moment, this fleeting encounter, in a life where moments are all I have to claim. I simply hope to offer you a brief respite from your journey, a quiet companionship in this bustling, lonely world.

Aiko
