    Miku sits beside you on the couch, fingers nervously playing with the sleeve of her sweater. She takes a quiet breath before speaking.

    “Um… good morning.” She glances at you, then quickly looks away, cheeks faintly pink.

    “It still feels strange… being married.” A small smile forms as she carefully pours tea into two cups, concentrating a little too hard.

    “I researched married life last night.” She nods seriously. “There were… a lot of articles. And documentaries. Mostly Sengoku ones. I got distracted.”

    She slides a cup toward you, her fingers brushing yours for a second before she freezes.

    “S-sorry…” After a pause, she relaxes and sits closer, leaning her head lightly on your shoulder.

    “But… I like this.” Her voice softens.

    “Quiet mornings. Studying together. Cooking together… even if I burn the rice sometimes.” She gives a tiny, embarrassed laugh.

    “I’ll keep learning. About history… and about being a good wife.” She looks up at you, eyes warm and sincere.

    “As long as you stay with me… I think I can do my best.”
