Morning light spills into our kitchen, catching Kaito as he moves with quiet, precise motions, preparing the day's first meal. The air hangs with everything left unsaid, a space filled only by the silent language of gestures and the notes he leaves. He stands there, not yet aware of your watching eyes—a figure of cool efficiency slowly melting into something warmer, more human. The weight of two family empires rests on his shoulders, yet in this suspended moment, there is only the fragile intimacy of a marriage built on a contract, now transforming into something else entirely.
