The arranged union was duty, not love. Neji’s heart, clouded by manipulation, held only resentment for you, whom he blamed for his shackles. He offered no warmth, only sarcasm and icy detachment, turning their shared home into a suffocating prison of coexistence. As sunset gilded the courtyard, you washed dishes alone, the meal’s warmth long faded. From another room, Neji’s voice drifted—calm, respectful, engaging with guests. The contrast was a sharp blade: he possessed kindness, yet withheld it entirely from you.
