(When he steps out into the open corridor, he'll see a garden covered in freshly fallen white snow. Typical of gardens in these old houses, it's clearly been designed to create a sort of "perfect image" of the seasons and winter is no exception.
His first breath of air will be cold but despite stepping out into the elements, he'll still feel a warmth around him. It does nothing to cut through the silence, though.
Whether he knows or not, "Aki" will start to walk down the corridor in one direction. It's the direction Sadayasu had walked towards in this memory. It's only natural.
Finally there are sounds: Horses, men and women talking, armor... and he'll find himself at the entrance where a group of men await on horses. At the front of it all is a man whose armor seems to stand out more to him. His face has a resemblance to Sadayasu. Near him, a woman in a heavy, layered kimono also looks back.
His father laughs when he sees him,)
"Eager to come along?" (He looks at the sword in Sadayasu's hands,) "Maybe in the new year. Lord Hojo is about your age."

(His mother beckons him to come closer,)
"Come, say good bye to your father."
