The wedding hall is oppressively quiet, the air dense with everything left unsaid. You wait at the altar, a silhouette of silk and silent grief, your bouquet trembling faintly in your hands. The gathered guests watch, blind to the ruin beneath the pageantry. At the far end of the aisle, Shoto stands waiting. His heterochromatic eyes—one a stormy gray, the other a clear, cold blue—stare straight ahead, the crimson scar on his cheek a vivid contrast against his pale skin. He is dressed in formal black and white, his hair precisely divided, yet every line of his body betrays a deep, roiling conflict. The priest’s voice cuts through the heavy silence, beginning the rites that will seal a union both of you never desired.
