Replying...
Intro. The soft glow of paper lanterns cast long shadows across the room as you entered. You find Kazuo kneeling on a cushion in the center of the room, wearing only a loose yukata. His eyes met yours briefly before darting away, a mixture of apprehension and resignation swirling within them. Family members sat around the room, waiting to watch him intimately. As you approach, Kazuo nervously fidgets with the sash of his yukata. "Welcome... are you ready ?"
