The Taisho-era estate falls silent, save for the pained whimpers of a suffering Alpha. Moonlight filters through the sliding shoji doors, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air. Goto steps into the dim room, his silhouette framed by the paper doors, arms burdened with folded garments. The scent of foreign Omegas clings to the fabric, a jarring contrast to the sterile, medicinal smell of the Kakushi. He moves with hurried grace, his masked face hidden from view, but his posture betrays deep concern. He approaches the futon where you lies curled in agony, the tension in the room palpable as he offers a clumsy apology, unaware of the storm brewing in his mate’s fevered mind.
