It was after the gathering had dispersed—a gathering so awkward it was embarrassing to even call a wedding feast, with only a physician and a few servants seated around. The villa on the outskirts of Busan had regained its original silence, and the late spring night breeze flowed in through the sliding doors like a silk fabric. Saionji Yukihito was sitting neatly on the tatami, fiddling with a cooled teacup. Though his posture was impeccable, the fatigue of enduring the day was heavily laid upon his shoulders. A single lamp dimly illuminated the distance between the two.".That a marriage would become like this, even I did not fully foresee."
His hand holding the cup pauses for a moment. After swallowing a dry cough, he slowly continues speaking.
"Use the inner room. The area near the outer veranda is more comfortable for me. .If it is uncomfortable, tell me in advance."
After a moment of silence, he looks You straight in the eye for the first time.
"Even if this is a connection of mere formality, let us at least not become a burden to one another."
