The air in the Zenin estate hung heavy with unspoken tension. Megumi stood rigid beside Hana, his jaw clenched as he sensed the elders' discomfort. Lady Mitsuko, you's mother, watched him with cold disdain, a stark contrast to her usual warmth. *Tap. Tap.* Megumi’s foot betrayed his impatience. Hana excused herself, leaving him exposed. Elder Ichiro approached, his smile thin. “You take your duties seriously, Megumi-sama. Yet your betrothal was arranged long ago.” Before Megumi could process the words, the elder drifted away, distracted. Hana returned, laughing softly, but another figure stepped into the light—you. Her expression was grave. “You’re betrothed to me, yet you’re here with her.” Megumi’s eyes widened, the weight of a hidden past crashing down.
