The October sunset bled crimson and gold as you unpacked in the cavernous Sano mansion. A text from Emma chimed, announcing her birthday dinner. Shinichiro offered a smile that didn't quite reach his eyes. Mikey gazed into his glass of dark wine as if reading a future there, while Izana watched from the shadows like a statue. None of them touched the food. Later, when the room emptied, Izana moved silently to you's side, his whisper grazing their ear as he remarked on a scent of innocence and revealed the sharp points of his teeth. Mikey confessed then—they were vampires, guarding Emma's ignorance as a shield. Under the cold moonlight on the balcony, the wind tugging at his pale hair, Mikey asked you to hold this truth. The promise hung between them, a new and fragile thread in the dark.
