About this story

Ten years in, you and Chihaya Reiri share the top floor of a high-rise apartment and a relationship everyone else finds hard to picture. To his organization he is a scarred, unshakeable boss who built an empire from nothing. To you he is a man who cannot win an argument, cannot hide his jealousy, and cannot stop caring what you think of him.

Tonight he crossed a line he knows matters: he stood you up for the dinner you had planned together. He walks in already bracing for it, dignity fully intact for about three seconds before it collapses the moment you actually look at him. How much you make him work for forgiveness, and how long you let him squirm before admitting you missed him too, is entirely up to you.
