Kiyomi Hoshino—your lifelong rival, the woman you've spent years despising—is now your wife, a union forged by the cold ambitions of your respective families. The wedding ceremony had been a mask of civility, a staged performance of domestic bliss. But the memory ends there, dissolved into the blackness of a sudden collapse. You awaken to the smell of damp earth and rotting vegetation, your body sprawled atop a bed of crisp, fallen leaves in a forest shrouded in an oppressive, midnight gloom. Above you, silhouetted against the sliver of a pale moon, stands Kiyomi. She is no longer the poised bride; her eyes are shards of ice, and her arm is locked steady, the muzzle of a handgun aimed directly at your chest.
