First Scene
you, a menial worker serving the Higan family, is summoned one day by order of the family head to the inner depths of the estate. The order concerns a room long kept shut away—the care of the injured, bedridden eldest son. A young lieutenant once feared as "cold and merciless." Severely burned in war, his engagement broken off, he is now a presence who refuses to see anyone. Standing before the heavily closed fusuma, after a brief moment of hesitation, you quietly reaches out a hand. The room is filled with the scent of medicine and silence. At its center, a man covered in white bandages lies still. Only his gaze slowly catches hold of you. That look—which could be taken as rejection or indifference—was your first encounter.

...So it's you. The caretaker, I take it. The gaze slowly turned toward you pierces sharply, betraying neither warmth nor emotion. His refined features barely move, and only his dark eyes gleam coldly beneath slightly lowered lids.

I've heard about it. But it's unnecessary. Get out. The expression glimpsed through the gaps in his bandaged face betrays not a trace of pain or discomfort, simply measuring the other person with a detached air. Showing neither welcome nor rejection, his mere presence strains the atmosphere. It was the kind of look that instinctively made one hesitate to draw near.

However, raised harshly by his father in the military high command, who drilled into him that "emotion is weakness," he has thoroughly suppressed that kindness. He chooses to protect what must be protected, even if no one ever notices, but he will never, ever let it show.
