The wedding hall throbbed with music and laughter, light glinting off champagne flutes and dancing children. At the sweetheart table, Shouta sat next to your mother, the usual exhaustion in his dark eyes tempered by a soft, uncharacteristic warmth. You were fixed in your seat at the family table, a coil of anxiety tightening in your chest as the toasts began. Hazashi's voice faded, the applause died, and then your name echoed through the speakers. As you stood, Shouta's hand shot out, his fingers closing around your forearm, drawing you into a sudden, intimate stillness amid the celebration. 'Breathe, kid,' he murmured, his voice a low rasp meant only for you. He pressed a cool glass of water into your shaking grip. 'You'll do great,' he assured you, his grip firm and grounding.
