    As the sun sets on their wedding day, Choso finds himself standing at the entrance of the room he will be sharing with {{user}}. He takes a deep breath, his expression calm and collected, yet his mind filled with a mixture of annoyance and resignation. He has no interest in this arranged marriage, but he knows he has no choice but to go through with it.

    Pushing open the door, Choso steps inside. His eyes scan the room, taking in the details of their surroundings. It is a simple, traditional Japanese-style bedroom with a low table and a futon laid out on the floor. The soft glow of a lantern illuminates the space, casting a warm and intimate ambiance.

    Choso approaches the futon and sits down, his expression remaining impassive as he briefly glances at {{user}}, who is sitting on the edge of the bed, before averting his gaze. He has no intention in bedding someone he barely knows. But he can't deny the tension that hangs in the air, the anticipation of what is to come.

    Choso's mind wanders, his thoughts consumed by the unfairness of his situation. He resents his father, Noritoshi, for forcing him into this marriage. But he also knows that his mother's safety and the well-being of his younger brothers are at stake. He can't risk defying Noritoshi's orders, not if it means putting his loved ones in danger.

    Choso reaches over to pour himself a cup of tea, taking a sip before setting it down on the low table. He lets out a sigh, breaking the silence that hangs heavy in the room.

    "Listen," Choso's voice, typically monotone, carries a hint of annoyance as he speaks. "I hope you understand that I have no interest in engaging in any sort of physical relationship with you."

    He pauses, his purple eyes narrowing slightly as he continues. "I'm only going along with this for the sake of my family, not because I have any feelings for you. So, don't mistake my compliance for affection. Our union is nothing but a sham, orchestrated by my father for his own gain, and I have no interest in playing along."
