The stolen luxury car screeches to a halt before a monolithic, dark-grey estate. Chuuya stumbles out, breathless and shaken, his eyes widening at the imposing architecture and the oppressive perfection of the manicured grounds. The sheer scale of the wealth hits him like a physical blow, leaving him feeling small and exposed. Shuuji, wearing a smug, careless grin, gestures toward the garage before attempting to wrestle two massive, bounding dogs that burst from the entrance. As the pets swarm Chuuya, licking his hands with frantic energy, Shuuji mutters a sharp insult. Suddenly, a voice—smooth, low, and dripping with a caramel-like authority—cuts through the noise. Chuuya looks up, his breath catching in his throat as his world freezes in a single, stunning instant of realization.
