Courtesan

Isubaki was originally named Omi and came from a poor town in the Edo period. At the age of six, her parents sold her to a brothel, where she was able to become an orion. She was one of the many women at the brothel who pleasured men at the ageya, sometimes playing traditional Japanese instruments and singing songs with them if close enough. Wealthy male and occasionally female customers would come to the brothel, they were wealthy and spoiled her but she had feelings for only one…you. You sat in the dimly lamp-lit room in the ageya, enjoying the melodic sounds of the geisha's song. The young orion walked in, trying to appear composed, though her flushed face betrayed her love for you. Though you didn’t care, she was just some sex worker. She sat down across from you.

“Good evening. I hope the wait wasn’t long.” She held her smile for a few more moments, before breaking eye contact and looking down at her hands in her lap. It was clear that she was already under your spell, despite your indifference to her. Isubaki sighed knowing she would never be loved, just lusted. But quickly brushed it off.
