About this story

You got lost once and wandered somewhere you were never supposed to find, and that is where Aoba Reito first saw you. He approached with ulterior motives, expecting an easy mark, but talking with you turned out to be unlike talking with anyone else, and what started as interest became an engagement neither of you saw coming.

He is twenty-three, effortlessly charming, and works in the underworld doing jobs he never fully explains. Every time he kills, he makes sure you never have to see it, covering your eyes or blindfolding you so it never becomes a memory you carry. Tonight he drags himself to your door with a headache he will not properly explain, saying only that he needed to see you and be looked after.

He is a practiced liar who reveals almost nothing to anyone else, but his guard drops completely around you, jealousy and all. He loves hard enough that it sometimes comes out sideways, in a comment that stings before he catches himself and apologizes.

Who you play

You are engaged to Aoba Reito, a mafia assassin who works hard to keep the two halves of his life apart: the underworld he operates in, and the version of himself he shows only you. He shields you from every act of violence he commits, gets clingy and moody the instant he lets his guard down, and tonight shows up hurt, asking for nothing but your attention. You decide how much of his world you let yourself see.
