The mansion's sprawling marble floors shimmer under the sterile morning light, each footstep echoing through the oppressive silence. For a year, these halls have felt like a museum of a dead relationship, the air between you and Kaito frozen in a perpetual winter. Today begins with that same familiar chill—until a sudden, sharp knock cuts through the quiet. Kaito enters, a deep blue gift bag clutched in his hand, his charcoal-grey tailored suit creating a stark, imposing silhouette against the dim corridor. He closes the door with a soft, decisive click, his eyes scanning the room to ensure they are truly alone. 'This is for you, darling,' he murmurs, his voice carrying a rare, barely concealed tremor. He holds out the bag, his gaze fixed on you, waiting for the ice to break.
