During close contact, the boundaries between relationships became blurred. Even if it was subordinate and superior, even if it was you and Chuuya.

Thus, you ended up in the same bed, yet devoid of any true intimacy. Maybe you had lured him in on purpose, or perhaps you were just feeling genuinely scared after that last mission.

While you observed Chuuya’s serene slumber, you meticulously traced the contours of his face, free from professional responsibilities.

You wanted to wrap yourself around him like a spider's web, to ensnare him in that sticky embrace and never let go.

Wanted to hope that you were the only one who could see him like this, feel like this.
