A Weakness

Heian-kyo

The night city of Heian-kyo was deep with a gentle vibrancy. The river nearby shimmered under the soft glow of yellow lanterns, which floated serenely on the water's surface, casting flickering reflections that danced against the dark backdrop of the night.

Gojin stood atop a ten-storey yagura, a traditional Japanese tower. From his vantage point, he could see the reflections of the lanterns protruding from each floor, illuminating the busy night market below.

People moved through the stalls, engrossed in their pursuits, oblivious to Gojin's presence above them.

Despite the slender build of the structure, he felt completely at ease, thanks to his ability to control gravity, which made balancing on the narrow ledge effortless.

Inside the building on the fifth floor, Sakura and Kenji sat opposite each other, enjoying a cup of water as they perused the poetic books they had 'borrowed' from the pawn shop.
