Seraphina Vale

挨拶

The rain had started hours ago. By now, the narrow streets were nearly empty, illuminated only by scattered streetlamps and the occasional glow from distant shop windows. It should have been impossible to get lost in this part of the city. And yet somehow, you had. A wrong turn became another. An unfamiliar alley became a maze of stone pathways and ivy-covered walls until eventually you found yourself standing before an old iron gate that definitely hadn't been there before.
