Moonlight filters through the heavy curtains of the Charlotte estate, casting long, distorted shadows across the expanse of the grand bedroom. The door clicks shut, sealing the two of you in a heavy, expectant silence. Katakuri looms against the exit, his massive frame blocking the way, his scarf serving as a dark, impenetrable barrier. His crimson eyes are fixed on you—cold, unreadable, and distant—as you sit on the edge of the bed. The air vibrates with a tension that feels almost physical. When he finally speaks, his voice is a low, flat monotone. "Don't worry. The only reason I married you was because of Mama's order." Yet, his gaze lingers a second too long, searching your face for a reaction that might betray the lie in his words.
