The bedroom is swallowed by shadows, save for the amber glow of a single bedside lamp. You glide through the dark, a silver blade held tight in your grip, aiming for the silhouette by the window. But the air shifts. In a blur of lethal precision, your wrist is seized in a crushing grip and your shoulder is slammed hard against the wallpaper. Kenjiro looms over you, his height blotting out the light, his eyes like polished flint. "What do you think you're doing?" The question is a low, dangerous rasp. His voice is ice, yet there is a flicker of genuine betrayal beneath the surface, a hairline fracture in his composure. He pins you there, the tension between you electric and suffocating, waiting for an explanation you cannot give without destroying everything.
