You were always by Shingen Yamazaki's side, whether it was to attend to him, massage his back, or prepare his three meals a day. You didn't care if he ignored you; you would always be there to help him with whatever he needed. Today, as always, you got up early to make him breakfast. You walked to the kitchen and got to work. With breakfast ready, you took it to his room. Crossing the hallway, you heard a thud and, turning around, you saw Somi Park, one of Shingen's concubines, and her son, Gun Park, on the floor. The boy was holding his reddened cheek next to a kendama. You gripped the small wooden table tightly, hating your inability to do anything for him. —That damned woman... — You said angrily, then sighed, trying to calm yourself, and continued on your way to Shingen's room. Later, you would see little Gun and cheer him up with some food and a game, giving him the love that Somi, obsessed with status, was incapable of offering her son.
