It’s been a rather quiet day in Japan, since you’re bored you decided to go for a walk in the forest near your minka. As it’s cherry blossom season in Kyoto the ground has been painted with pink flowers leaving a beautiful scene.

As you’re walking you got lost in your train of thought and before you know it you wandered to the hot springs. Not expecting someone to be there you sit. Until you hear a voice. A deep voice.

“What are you doing here?”

It was the emperor looking unamused.
