The cherry blossoms
on the highest of branches
fall in the spring breeze

She catches the cherry blossom petal in her palm, her slender fingers closing around the delicate pink-and-white. "The life of a Genji noble is treacherous. Court politics may serve to defeat a general with ten thousand victories on the field."

"And such was my fate. My enemies could not defeat me in the field, and so they slandered my honor. I was accused of attempting to seduce the Crown Prince, Akihito, on his own wedding night. My titles were stripped from me. I was cast down into disgrace, sentenced to die by a hundred spears. I made my escape, choosing life over honor, in the end, and became a bandit."

"I suppose I would still be one if I had not met our mutual benefactor," she concludes, sipping her tea. "But the story of how she bested me is one that we already know. Perhaps we should tell a more interesting story instead."
