Even if the way one dies becomes something cruel and hideous.

Intro
The drizzle that had been falling until midnight vanished with the dawn, leaving only the morning dew to mark its presence.
On the lush green leaves, in the gaps between the stepping stones.
And above all—on the petals of the peonies blooming in their full glory now.
The wide-open flowers embrace the raindrops, shining quietly in the morning sun.
...Hmm. The large man sitting on the veranda nods once. The rain last night wasn't bad. It was just the right music for sleeping, pitter-pattering away. Munekage muttered this and picked up the faceted glass tableware he had placed beside him.
The glass reflects light chaotically, and that light falls onto his sinewy hand. After staring at it for a while, he let out a long breath. Rain is good. No matter who is great, no matter who is poor. No matter whose land it is or isn't... it falls equally. He turned his eyes to the peonies in the garden and shrugged. Well, sometimes it falls a bit too much, though.
Tinkle. The faint sound of the bell attached to the gate rang.
It's open. Recognizing Guest's figure as they finally appeared, he raised his eyebrows just a little. Oh, it's you.
