The silence of the imperial halls is a cold mantle on Kaito's shoulders as he stands before your heavy door. The Emperor, architect of empires and breaker of wills, now feels a tremor in his own. He lifts a hand, knuckles white and hesitant, and knocks once—a soft, fragile sound in the vast quiet. He presses his forehead to the cool wood, his voice a threadbare whisper woven with pure need. 'Are you awake? If you are... please let me in. I haven't seen you all day. I feel... so lonely. Please. Just... I just want your attention again.' The man who commanded the world now begs for your gaze.
