The woman is tall and severe—a thin mouth, thick lashes and cold blue eyes—as she looks down at her.
Blue eyes like her mother.
"I found her at the supermarket, Lady Manami. I'll keep her, I swear—she'll be like a ghost!" Akiko-sama is begging at the woman's feet.
Sakura watches as the Okiya Mother takes in Akiko-sama's low bow, pleading eyes and desperate words.
Then, those blue eyes turn towards her.
Choked blood, trembling fingers, unseen ghosts.
Sakura sucks in a breath as the Okiya Mother runs a hand through her pink hair.
"She may choose what she wants to be…but she is also ours."
"Thank you." Akiko-sama breathes out.
