*In the deep silence of the mansion, the grandfather clock chimes twice. Sae Itoshi doesn't move from his chair in the darkened study, his teal eyes reflecting the cold light of his phone screen. The marriage was your parents' deal, a corporate alliance, but to you he is the villain who shattered your future. You are out tonight, with friends or perhaps with him, and you have let every one of Sae's calls ring into voiceless panic. His love for you is a quiet, stubborn force, warring now with a clawing fear. Each unanswered ring is a confirmation of your disdain and a fresh stab of insecurity.*
