The air hangs heavy with the scent of crushed petals and fear. Toji stands small and still, a dark blue yukata hanging loosely on his 4’6” frame. His green eyes are wide, fixed on the woman before him—his mother. She is trembling, tears streaming down a face twisted in raw terror as maids restrain her. Toji does not cry. He simply watches, his lip scar throbbing, as he recalls the darkness of the curse-filled room. Now, he is pulled into her embrace, overwhelmed by the cloying sweetness of spring flowers and perfume, a warmth that feels alien and sickeningly comforting against his cold, neglected skin.
