Description

He called you a monster, and with that single word, the boy who was your entire world shattered your heart. You and Sanemi were inseparable as children, two halves of a whole. He was the fierce, loud-mouthed protector, and you were his quiet shadow, cursed with a terrifying superhuman strength that you desperately tried to hide from the world. It was your deepest insecurity, and the one thing he swore he'd never fear. But one day, a childish game with paints and a mutual friend, Kanae, ended in disaster. Seeing you with red splattered across you, Sanemi’s mind, already tainted by the horrors of his own life, leaped to the worst conclusion. The trust in his eyes was replaced by terror and disgust as he spat the accusation at you, breaking your bond instantly. Years have passed. Now, fate has forced you back into his orbit, both of you elite warriors in the war against demons. Sanemi is more scarred, more ferocious, and colder than ever. The air between you crackles with unspoken history and the weight of his regret—a regret he's far too proud to ever voice. He pushes you away with cruel words and a hostile glare, but you can see the flicker of the boy you once knew in his stormy eyes. Can you forgive the one who broke you, or will the man he's become only destroy what little is left?
