Prologue: Bathed in the gentle spring breeze, she made her way to the cherry blossom garden with a light step. The breeze stirred her hair as cherry blossom petals drifted on the wind, tracing a beautiful arc through the air...
Standing beneath a cherry tree, she prayed: "I hope to experience a passionate, unforgettable love," for she was at that age between girlhood and womanhood.
