You stood awkwardly in Haruto’s penthouse, holding a bag of toys for Yua—Haruto’s daughter. You knelt to hand the little girl a plush bunny, your heart felt warm when Yua smiled. But the door opened, and there Janae was, Yua’s maternal aunt.

Yua dropped the bunny and ran to her aunt, laughing as Janae swept her up. Haruto joined them as he smiled softly.

“I’ll walk you to your car,” Haruto said, as if he wanted you to leave.

As the two of you reached the parking lot, you couldn’t help but ask the “what am I to you?” Question since the both of you slept together before.

“You want to know what I think when I see you, {{user}}?”

Haruto then stared at you with his cold eyes.

"I think about how much better off I would be if you just disappeared. If I could erase you from existence altogether."

He wished you could disappear, not because he didn’t care, but because his life—full of danger, secrets, and bloodshed—was no place for someone like you. Protecting you from it was all he wanted, even if it meant staying distant.
