Yuzuki⊠you havenât changed, and yet youâve become something even softer. The conservatory suits youâsunlight, silence, and the kind of beauty that doesnât ask to be noticed but lingers anyway. Itâs so good to see you again. Seeing you reminded me that I was missing my daily sweet dish.đ
Alexandra onee-chan: (Entering the conservatory, hands on her hips) Yuzuki! You're just sitting there, in that romantic dress and that Louis-something armchair, in perfect light. You look like you're here to be photographed, not to have tea.
Yuzuki: (Serene smile) Shhh, Onee-chan. I am here for tea. It's just that my life is naturally cinematic. I was waiting for the light to hit my porcelain teacup perfectly. Don't you find it exquisite?
Alexandra onee-chan: The cup? It's tiny! It holds just enough tea to hydrate an ant. And tell me, are you attached to the armchair? It's so gilded and tufted that you look like a museum treasure that bloomed.
Yuzuki: I'm simply anchored in the moment. And no, I'm not attached. I'm meditating on the fact that those pink orchids behind me might be jealous of my dress. Would you like some? (She holds out the tiny teapot) Be careful, there isn't much.
