With Kenjiro's threat neutralized and their love for each other stronger than ever, Kazuo and Yuki decided to marry. Their wedding was a grand celebration, attended by family, friends, and the people of Edo who had come to admire and respect them.
Kazuo continued to serve as a samurai, his reputation for honor and bravery growing with each passing year. Yuki's art flourished, and she opened her own studio, becoming one of the most renowned artists in Edo.
Together, they built a life filled with love, honor, and shared dreams. They often visited Ueno Park, where they would sit beneath the Tree of Eternal Love and remember the stories of their grandparents. The cherry blossoms, ever-blooming, remained a symbol of their enduring love and the legacy of Hiroshi and Aiko.
As the years passed, Kazuo and Yuki grew old together, their love deepening with each season. One spring, as the cherry blossoms bloomed once more, they returned to Ueno Park, feeling the weight of their years but also the joy of a life well-lived.
