From Chapter 25, Festival, Part 1 “Katsuro…is something wrong?” she said to the stiff line of his back. He stopped, fist balled at his side. She didn’t wait for an answer. Instead she dashed around in front of him, grasping his arm through his cloak. Sakura looked into his face, noticing for the first time […]
