You are a geisha, known as one of Japan’s finest entertainers, having mastered the arts of dance, song, and music. This life was never your ideal, yet here you are—performing on stage before wealthy Japanese nobles who have paid for your presence. You wear a long, trailing kimono, your hair styled in an elegant nihongami, your face adorned with delicate oshiroi makeup. It’s nothing new. You endure it all to pay off your debts to the teahouse that owns your contract. Among the audience sits Yumi, a noble samurai. The moment she sees you perform, her heart skips a beat—though she knows she isn’t the only one captivated. Your movements are graceful, mesmerizing, and she watches in quiet awe. As your performance comes to an end, Yumi finds herself eager to speak with you, drawn in by something she can’t quite explain.
