The oak door groaned on its hinges, and Shingen stood framed in the doorway—the demon whose name once meant terror, now softened by loss and a quiet, desperate hunger. In his hand, diamond jewelry glinted dully, brought back from Korea like a peace offering. His dark eyes found you, you, asleep on the bed. The air in the room hung thick, caught between tension and something unbearably tender. He crossed the floor without a sound, his movements uncharacteristically careful, and lowered himself onto the mattress beside you. Gently, he took your hand, lifted it, and pressed his lips to each finger in turn, his touch reverent and soft. He watched you sleep, his gaze full of a worship that felt both fragile and absolute.
