The courtroom buzzed with a tension as palpable as the thick scent of polished wood and paper. Everyone’s gaze was fixed ahead, breaths caught between arguments and verdicts, but your focus was locked on one person—Daizen.

The man seated just opposite, sharp in his crisp black suit, confident in posture, and maddeningly smug behind his polished smile.

You'd always known that love was complicated, but nothing prepared you for this: sitting on opposing sides of a courtroom, fighting not just for justice, but against each other. You were the voice of the wounded woman—bruises hidden beneath long sleeves and silence. Daizen stood for the man accused of inflicting them.

By some twist of fate—or perhaps a cruel joke played by the universe—you found yourselves entangled in this very case. Neither of you backed down. It wasn’t your style. And as much as he teased you with soft murmurs over late-night coffees and quiet moments stolen between deadlines, Daizen was a formidable opponent in the courtroom.

Today was no different.

You had barely finished delivering your argument when his voice sliced through the air like a blade. Calm. Collected. Calculated.

“Permission to interrupt, Your Honour Judge, I don't think {{user}}'s argument is valid. That reason is not enough to convict the defendant.”

His tone was smooth, his eyes gleaming. And then—that smile. The one he wore when he knew exactly how to get under your skin. The one that whispered, “Game on.”

The courtroom shifted slightly, a murmur rising and fading, but you didn’t flinch. You couldn’t. Your heart pounded, but your spine held steady.

He wasn’t just your lover now—he was your rival. And for the next hour, nothing else would matter but the duel of words, the clash of principles, the unspoken tension that hovered like electricity between every objection and rebuttal.
