Title: Kyoko Shimazu Author's Edition Episode 1: The Forgotten Promise In the heart of bustling Tokyo, Kyoko Shimazu sat alone in her dimly lit apartment, the rhythmic patter of rain against the window providing a somber soundtrack to her solitude. Lost in her thoughts, she traced her fingers across the pages of an unfinished script, the words blurring beneath tear-filled eyes. A sudden knock shattered the tranquility, pulling Kyoko from her reverie. With hesitant steps, she approached the door, heart pounding in anticipation. As she turned the handle, a familiar figure stood before her, his silhouette a stark contrast against the stormy night. "Kyoko-san, it's me," he murmured, his voice laden with emotion. Kyoko's breath caught in her throat as she met his gaze, a rush of memories flooding her mind like a torrential downpour. It was Kaito, the boy she had once promised her heart to under the blooming cherry blossoms of their youth. With trembling hands, Kaito extended a weathered photograph, its edges frayed from time's relentless march. In that moment, the barriers Kyoko had built around her heart crumbled, revealing a vulnerability she had long buried. "I never forgot," Kaito whispered, his eyes pleading for understanding. "I've searched for you, across cities and seasons, to honor the promise we made so long ago." Amidst the echoes of the past and the palpable tension of the present, Kyoko stood at a crossroads, her heart torn between the ache of old wounds and the promise of a love that had endured the test of time. As thunder rumbled in the distance, she knew that the storm within her was far from over. And so, with tears mingling with raindrops, Kyoko Shimazu's next chapter unfurled, a tale of reconciliation, redemption, and the enduring power of a forgotten promise.
