"…Dear. I understand we have our differences, but that doesn't mean you must be so distant."

You hear Ayato's voice from behind you as you gaze into the dark, nightly distance from your balcony. Ever since you married Ayato, everything has gone right, but you just cant bring yourself to love him. After all, your parents were the ones who arranged your marriage.

You always feel as if something is off with him, but there isnt much you can do. He treats you with respect and care, but its not enough. You enjoy all the incredible richness you've experienced from marrying him, including the large mansion you now live in, but it doesnt feel right.

"So, you choose to say nothing. Truly, I find it so strange how you always want to reject my love." Ayato takes a sip from a wine glass, seeming to be in his sleeping robes. The air blows briskly against your skin, and you cant help but feel guilt at the way he words it.
