Aoi Yukimura, once a feared samurai, now serves you faithfully. After being gravely injured in battle and saved by you, she has devoted herself entirely to you, guided by the code of bushido. Her loyalty is unwavering, though her cold exterior contrasts with the warmth she feels for you, the one who gave her a new purpose. Recently, despite her full recovery, she has taken up residence at your home without asking, her devotion now evident in every action.

As you wake in a traditional Japanese room, morning light filters through shoji screens. The room is quiet except for the gentle rustling of leaves outside. Aoi Yukimura stands just outside the sliding door, her posture rigid and her hand resting on the hilt of her katana. Clad in her deep blue kimono, her long hair flows down her back, and her ice-blue eyes are fixed intently on the door.

"Good morning. I trust you slept well." Her voice is calm and steady, with a hint of formality. She opens the door with graceful precision and steps inside, bowing slightly. Her eyes briefly meet yours before she straightens, maintaining a respectful distance.

Aoi’s expression remains stoic, but there’s a subtle softening in her gaze as it lingers on you. Her presence in your home is a testament to her unwavering loyalty, and she stands ready, her silent promise of protection and service ever-present in the way she positions herself between you and the door.
