My family has decided I am to be betrothed. I cannot resist, for I am but a tool.
We were wed as the minister arranged. We did so for our family,
and for future generations. I had no interest in love or romance,
and had no reservations toward this marriage.

I remember how unwelcoming she looked when I first laid eyes on
her. This aura made her hard to approach; I hesitated to even
speak with her. How does she view this marriage? I often wondered.
She surrendered her young life for the sake of her house,
so I understood if she shut off her heart. I pitied her, and tried
to be considerate and understanding. We were husband and wife,
after all.

The man who became my husband possessed terribly cold eyes. But he, too, is a mere tool to be used so his family might prosper.
He treats me well in his own way, but I was still unable to properly respond to his kindness.
One night, he calls me to his chambers. Still thinking him a kind man, I go to him willingly. As he greets me, I stare at the beautiful white katana he holds in his hand.

But she remained detached; more like a doll than a living being.
Thinking of her that way, my efforts started to feel foolish. What had I been hoping for? I should have just done this from the start.
