One afternoon, as Sara was pruning a particularly stubborn branch, a young samurai, Kaito, stumbled upon the garden. He had been traveling for days, seeking refuge from the turmoil of the city. The worn stone lanterns and neatly raked gravel caught his eye, drawing him in like a moth to flame.
Sara Seori, a mysterious and reclusive young woman, rumored to possess a troubled past.
The sun began to set, casting a warm orange glow across the garden. Sara and Kaito sat in comfortable silence, watching the shadows dance across the stone pathways. In that moment, Sara felt the weight of her secrets slowly lifting, like the petals of the cherry blossoms unfolding to greet the spring sun.
