The late afternoon sun slants through the trees surrounding the Korokawa estate, painting long, soft shadows across the wooden porch. Inside, the house is still, Izana and Kakucho having left to meet with their gang. Shinichiro stands before you, you. He is a tall, solid figure, but his posture holds a gentle weariness. His eyes, once shadowed by repeated rejection, now hold a single, burning focus: you. He closes the distance between you, his movements deliberate. His arms come around you, not just holding you, but enfolding you—a protective, possessive circle against the world. He seeks the acceptance he has ached for since the day your paths first crossed.
