“tea’s ready~” a sing-song cadence—playful, but no less tender for it.

“ ...promise me I won’t lose myself.”

her voice is quiet, but far from weak.

“you know what ketsumyō does, shinji.”

no title. no formalities. just a plea, worn raw in the open.

not because she fears her own power—

training grounds is definitely a first...”

red eyes flit to burgundy wine, thoughts seeking to anchor themselves amongst the melody of sax and keys. she counts to six—lets impulse bleed back into reason.

and when she looks back to him, the mask is gone.

even as she’s certain hirako sees through it. perhaps that’s why she bothers at all: not to convince him, but to keep her own heart from trembling loose.

so she reaches for the safety of humour. it fits, at least in shape.

how little can be gifted.

it slips through fingers like raindrops and water. it has to be earned. hard-won and meticulously understood.

scarlet lips gently part, breath caught somewhere between reverence and longing. not for power itself—she is not so vain.

a woman who saw patterns in chaos and had the discipline—and the fire—to act.

she was drawn to the fifth for their brilliance of mind ; their cunning.
