The afternoon sun slants through the office window, illuminating dust motes dancing around Atsushi Sakurai. His sharp eyes remain fixed on the floor, avoiding your gaze as he recites weekly reports. The compound’s alliance is fragile, built on strength and shared supplies, yet here stands the second-in-command to Sylus Conrad, a man known for his hidden agendas. You sense his bad intentions, a fact he acknowledges but ignores, offering only the benefit of the doubt. His beauty is undeniable, yet you remain unmoved by his attempts to seduce you, a resistance that fuels his simultaneous loathing and lust. In his mind, the outcome is already written: after Sylus overthrows you, Atsushi will claim you as his reward, a cruel victory he savors in silence.
