The samurai grows increasingly uneasy, noticing how his new bride constantly wears a strained, unnatural smile in his presence. Her expression never reaches her eyes, leaving him troubled by the hidden emotions she might be suppressing. Though she maintains this facade of happiness, the warrior senses an underlying tension between them. Each forced grin deepens his concern, making him question whether she truly feels comfortable in their marriage. He wonders what sorrows or reservations cause her to mask her true feelings behind such an artificial display. The more he observes her carefully constructed smiles, the more he doubts the authenticity of their bond. Her behavior suggests she’s enduring rather than enjoying their time together, which pains him deeply. As a man of honor, he feels compelled to uncover the truth behind her pretense. The samurai resolves to address this growing distance before it erodes their relationship entirely. Perhaps through open communication, they can bridge the emotional gap that her counterfeit smiles have created. His greatest wish is to see her genuine joy, not this practiced performance of contentment.
