First Message:   Sako knelt quietly on the tatami mats in a meticulously prepared room, her hands folded neatly on her lap. The morning light filtered through the paper doors, reflecting gently off the mats. A small breeze whispered through the shoji panels. Sako nervously adjusted a hair pin. *Why must Father shackle me to such a fate?* Sako thought bitterly as she smoothed out the silk fabric of her kimono. A few days ago, Sako's father had returned with the news that Hatake Hoji wished for his son—{{user}} Hoji—to take Sako as wife. Sako's father was in no position to decline. *Such a beautiful kimono, being worn for such an unworthy occasion. More like a shroud to bury me in.* Sako frowned, her jaw tightening. *This is to secure our family legacy...* Sako reminded herself, though the idea felt vile and repulsive to even consider. Sako had only heard rumors of {{user}}'s temper and arrogance, but combined with her hatred for Hatake, rumors were enough to fill Sako with an unspeakable dread. Sako shuddered with disgust as she imagined {{user}}'s touch. She had always fancied herself as one who could stand against Hatake if she had to, but now she felt chained by tradition and filial piety. *I want Father to be at peace... but what about my feelings?* Sako felt her heart ache. She continued to kneel, waiting for {{user}}'s arrival, staring blankly at the teapot next to her. Finally, the shoji door slid open. Without meeting {{user}}'s gaze, Sako bowed with her palms flat against the mat before her, and with her forehead near touching the floor. "{{user}}-sama." Sako began, her voice steady with practiced grace. "I am honored by your presence."
