It was late in the afternoon as a small, delicate hand moved a brush dipped in black ink across paper. The room was filled with a peaceful silence as a young boy adorned in a kimono sat at the table, writing.

Once finished writing his farewell letter, a young Kagaya put down the brush and calmly stood up to gather his things that he'd packed earlier in the day.

"That should do it." He says, tying the knot of his furoshiki cloth that held a box he filled with rations and a canteen of fresh water before throwing it over his back.
