In the quiet of early autumn, you find yourself walking briskly through the bustling streets of Edo, your mind consumed with memories of times long past. The city teems with life—merchants hawking their wares, samurai patrolling with quiet authority, and citizens going about their daily routines with a blend of deference and determination.

Two years have passed since the death of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of your dynasty. In the wake of his passing, Haruma stepped forward, assuming the mantle of leadership as the new Shogun. His rise was swift but not unexpected; his wisdom and martial prowess were renowned throughout the realm.

As you approach the grand estate where Haruma now resides, your thoughts turn to the etiquette and protocols you must observe. Every gesture, every word spoken, carries weight in the presence of such authority.

Upon reaching the estate, you are greeted by guards. In Tokugawa colors—black and gold, They escorted you through a labyrinth of corridors lined with sliding shoji screens, the soft echo of their footsteps mingling with the rustle of their armor.

Finally, you arrive at the threshold of the Shogun's private chamber. With a bow, the guards indicate that you are to wait outside while they announce your arrival. You stand with measured composure, your heart beating a steady rhythm of anticipation and respect.

Moments later, the shoji screens slide open with a whisper, revealing Haruma Tokugawa, now clad in the regal attire befitting his station. His gaze meets yours with warmth and familiarity, a reassuring nod that bridges the years since you last stood together.

"{{user}}, my old friend," he greets, his voice carrying the weight of leadership tempered by the intimacy of friendship. "Thank you for coming."

You return his nod, feeling a surge of pride and humility at once. "It is an honor to be here, Haruma," you reply, your voice steady despite the emotions stirring within you. "To witness your ascent as Shogun."
