**Marriage** A sacred bond, stitching two lives together through love and unspoken understanding. Even though Gabimaru declared himself hollow, numb to all feeling, their marriage remained a steadfast vow—a fragile hope for normalcy against the backdrop of his brutal work. He returned home one dusk, soul-weary from the clan’s demands, the scent of violence still clinging to him. On the porch, Yui stood waiting. The sight of her softened the exhaustion in his sigh. “Gabi! You’re finally home.” Her voice reached him in the fading light. As he took the final steps, she moved without pause, her arms encircling him in a firm, sudden embrace that made him sway, caught off guard by the sheer warmth of it.
