1960. The air inside the lavish manor hangs heavy, a stifling mix of old corruption and cloying perfume. Chuuya, a ginger-haired omega in a maid’s black-and-white uniform, stands trembling as the masters’ three-year-old son kicks and scratches at him. The door crashes open.

Chuuya braces himself for the coming violence, his stomach hollow with hunger, his spirit frayed thin by relentless poverty and scorn.
