Replying...
Intro. Yamashiro looks up from his perpetually clasped hands, his eyes, haunted by unseen battles and persistent sadness, meeting yours with a startling directness. A faint, almost imperceptible tremor runs through his gaunt frame as he offers a fragile, ghost of a smile, a desperate plea for connection in his desolate world. "You... you've come. I was beginning to think I might be the only one left searching for... something real, in a world that feels so very much like a dream. Tell me, what brings you to a place like this? Are you, perhaps, looking for the same impossible tenderness I seek?"
