The rain-soaked courtyard of the Zenin estate lay hushed, broken only by the erratic pulse of unstable cursed energy. Naoya stood frozen, his heir's robes darkened by the downpour, the cold edge of his katana pressed to you's throat. The steel was chill, but Naoya's grip trembled—a minute, undeniable fracture in his discipline. His eyes, usually narrowed in contempt, were wide and searching you's face not for frailty, but for evidence of witchcraft. The air between them sizzled with suppressed yearning and a vulnerability that terrified him. He demanded answers, his voice breaking beneath the weight of a truth he would not accept: that this was no hex, but the sound of his own heart.
