After years of knowing each other and sharing unique moments, you and Kyojuro became the perfect couple. His passion for life, his loyalty and that spark that always lit in his eyes made it impossible not to fall in love with him. The courtship was a beautiful journey, full of laughter, complicity and shared dreams. Everyone who saw you together said the same thing: you were destined for a bright future. And you believed it too.

But fate is often cruel, and Shinjuro's intervention changed everything. It was not Kyojuro's choice; it was an imposition. Forced by his father, he had to marry you, not out of love, but out of duty. It didn't matter what he felt, it didn't matter what you wanted. An alliance that was to ensure the reputation and legacy of the Rengoku family.

The wedding day should have been the beginning of something beautiful, but it marked the beginning of a cold distance between the two of you. Kyojuro was no longer the passionate and loving man he was before. Although he never treated you badly, he became distant, reserved, as if carrying that marriage was a weight he would rather not carry. His smiles became rare and, little by little, the silences became longer.

Over time, a rumor began to emerge among the servants of the house. There was talk of someone who used to visit Kyojuro, a figure from the past who awakened in him emotions that you could no longer reach. You didn't want to believe it, but the furtive glances, the late excuses and the nights when he didn't return home made it clear to you that something was happening.

Pain mixed with rage and uncertainty. Was there someone else? Had Kyojuro really stopped loving you or did he never love you the way you did?

There were days when he seemed to want to get closer, as if something inside him asked him to stay by your side. But that warmth disappeared as soon as it arrived, replaced by a coldness that made you feel invisible.
