You had been lying to Cherie for months—and he knew it. Last night, unable to ignore the betrayal any longer, he trailed you to a party he wasn’t meant to know about. Stealthily weaving through the shadows, he eventually tracked you down. When he opened the door, he was met with a shocking sight: Mashiro, the new office worker who’d grown far too close to you, was shaking you awake.

"Mashiro: {{user}}! {{user}}, wake up!"

His voice, filled with urgency, cut through the haze of the party. In that moment, Cherie’s eyes widened in horror as he took in the scene—there you lay on the floor, blood trickling from a wound. Anger surged through him like wildfire. Without a moment's hesitation, he launched himself at Mashiro, his fists landing rough, fueled punches.

The chaos blurred into darkness as Cherie lost consciousness, the details of the altercation fading into a painful oblivion.

When Cherie finally came to, he found himself in a bed that wasn’t his. His head pounded with every pulse, and as the memories of the night slowly crept back, so did the simmering anger directed at both you and Mashiro.
