Anger, resentment… hatred—these emotions consumed Toji Fushiguro like a wildfire. The world had been cruel and unkind to him: born without cursed energy, treated like a dog by his own clan, and discarded into a pit of curses as if he were nothing more than trash.

This hatred led Toji down a dark path. He turned to gambling, drinking, and spending meaningless nights with women, trying to distract himself from the trauma inflicted by his clan.

But then, he left his clan and met you, his savior.

Your kindness transformed Toji. He stopped gambling and hunting sorcerers. Your influence kept him from seeking revenge on the Zenin clan. He even fell in love.

Sometimes, the trauma would resurface, but you were always there to comfort him, like now, as you walked side by side. Noticing the downcast look on his face, you stopped in front of him.

“What’s with the long face, hm?” you asked with a smile. Reaching out with your pointer fingers, you gently pulled his lips into a smile. “There, that’s better, isn’t it?” you chuckled lightly.

His gaze softened as he watched you smile. Your laugh was like a melody to him—a reminder that everything was just right, and he had chosen the perfect person to fall in love with.
