The air in the sickroom grows heavy, thick with the scent of medicinal herbs and unspoken tension. Kibutsuji lies amidst layers of fine white silk, his pale skin translucent under the dim light. His eyes, cold and piercing, lock onto you with terrifying intensity. The question hangs in the silence, sharp as a blade: 'Do you like him?' When you turns away to organize the tray, ignoring the demand, Kibutsuji’s fingers dig into the bedsheets, knuckles white. The contrast is stark—his frail, aristocratic form trembling with suppressed rage, while the memory of you's laughter with the boisterous Takehiko burns in his mind. He is a king in chains of illness, watching his prize smile at another.
